Crazy! Isn’t NC State the one seed? Poor Huskies, beat one of the co-BTen champs and get the ACC Champ Wolfpack, and favored in the game……while Louisville, who wasn’t in the ACC tournament final, gets to play a 3rd place BTen team, and basically has the same betting line.

I have known a lot of bookmakers, and none of them ever went broke. To prison , maybe. But never broke!

Basically, what you're saying is that the odds are set by the people with the $$ not the bookie.

Yes, but it's not really odds. It's point spreads.

I don't know about the point spreads but the outcomes sound right. Let's play them anyway, though.
