Now we are really doomed.

Money line action in Vegas favors us 51-49.

Doomification, I tell you.

Doomed or not, I've never been so f*(king nervous about a game in my life. Not sure why I want this one so badly - because it's Ken$ucky? Because it's Ollie's first shot at it? Because no one thinks we can win?

I wouldn't say "no one" thinks we can win. The line's only 2.5. Against Dook, we were +9.5. We were playing "the best college team ever." We had no chance. We were doomed.
We won.
I just checked a site (ESPN, I think) and the breakdown from 12 "experts" was 8-4 Kentucky.

I'm with you!
I have so much nervous energy I could run 100 miles while carrying 35 t.v.'s!

Not the old big ones but the new flat screens!

That's terrible news. What does money line action mean?

That's terrible news. What does money line action mean?

There are two ways to bet on a game: on the point spread, or simply on who will win--no points involved. By 57-43 percent, Vegas bettors who are playing the point spread are taking the points--i.e.,betting we will at least come within 3 points of Kentucky.
Those betting on us via the money line think we'll win without need for points.

That's terrible news. What does money line action mean?

It means 51% of the people are betting on us to win outright and not taking the points.

Last I heard it was bet $100 to win $260 if UConn wins.
