Guess the line for Saturday vs BYU

[jleves]

I'm going with UConn by 3.5.

What do you got before the lines come out?

 

[auror]

KenPom has it 5, Torvik 1, and EvanMiya 2.5.

3.5 seems reasonable, KenPom probably has the most weight.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Uconn -5.5

You win!

 

[Jay-Bone]

On Draftkings. -4 on Caesar's so far. I like it. BYU has underachieved. Boston is our territory. Reed works over Keita. AJ does freshman stuff.

 

[HooperScooper]

A little closer than I figured. Will be curious to see if the line moves and in which way. Doesn't really matter though. Just get the win!

 

[JB75]

I’ll say UConn -4.5

 

[JB75]

Lil closer than I thought too. BYU coming east , kinda new to the national scene lately., prolly their biggest regular season game in a while , AJ will have a lot of pressure with his fans in attendance , UConn has been smashing scrub squads, reed is back , etc …. Thought a bit higher

Mullins not playing is keeping this closer, if he’s available I’d say it’s closer to -9.5

 

[bendm]

Easy money. I was thinking -6.5

 

[Staven]

I have no doubt UConn will cover - my prediction is UConn wins 88 - 77

 

[UCTitleTown]

Hopefully, some degenerate gamblers here locked in at 3.5 now that a BYU starter got a DUI.

 

[Jaydumo20]

How people still get DUIs with UBER and LYFT around is beyond me. But I guess there are still people in New Haven who go to Papa John's.

 

[Jay-Bone]

BYU fans hoping preliminary reports of a DUI are just a baseless Kennard.

 

[Tenspro2002]

-4.5 on DK now

 

[Orc]

Uconn will make a statement. Uconn by 10+

 

[HooperScooper]

Mullins not playing is keeping this closer, if he’s available I’d say it’s closer to -9.5

He hasn't played in a game yet. I doubt him missing has anything to do with the point spread.

 

[Mr. French]

Uconn -5.5

I have XLCenterFan with the win on FanDuel - they have -5.5

 

[RuffRuff]

I'd say 4.5 myself and we win by 10. I think we kill them on the boards.

Won't that get him kicked out of school? As far as Mormons are concerned that even worse than drinking coffee.

Do you remember the Jimmer years? I forget who it was but his #2 got in trouble that way. I think he got booted

UConn -5 on Circa

 

[HooperScooper]

ESPN says the line opened at 3.5 and has gone to 5.5. I hope the sharps are right. I'm nervous about this game but I hope all of you that are confident the Huskies take care of business are right. I don't want to walk out of the Garden with a loss.

It 100% has to do with the point spread. A perceived starter and one and done not playing is going to impact the spread of basically every game until he’s back. To say it doesn’t would indicate you believe he has no impact on outcome of game if he is available.

Zero chance of that happening

 

[HooperScooper]

Zero chance of that happening

ESPN Predictor says 35.2% chance. But I like your number a lot better. 😀

I could be wrong but I notice when established starters are announced as out the line usually barely moves. And Mullins isn’t an established starter yet. Maybe he could move the line a little bit but certainly not 4-6 points like you said.

Any heavy gamblers want to weigh in on this?

 

[XLCenterFan]

I have XLCenterFan with the win on FanDuel - they have -5.5

Nailed it!! Had to check as soon as I woke up. 5.5 it is.

I notice this as well. Line will only move based on the money that comes in. Once a line is set, information doent move it as much as the money will. That being said, an NFL QB being ruled out will move the line. Almost any other position in any other sport won’t move it much.
