Early line on FD per VegasInsider. That seems like a high number, what thinks the yard?

They led us by 7 or 8 at the half in Indiana. But we're not playing in Indiana.

That is a pretty huge spread, seems to me like Butler is kind of underrated across the board. They're 15-7, 5th in the conference, have good wins (Marquette, Creighton, Texas Tech), but really don't seem they get too much respect.

They just won at Creighton!

If it is indeed +16.5, I would bet the underdog and maybe try to get UConn -8.5 live if it's close at halftime.

They also lost by almost 20 at St. John's and Xavier. They scored almost 100 on Creighton I can promise you that isn't happening against us.

The line is up on FanDuel if you want to go bet it. The line is higher than I expected but I am not running to bet Butler either.

I'm seeing that Posh might be questionable. Yet he didn't play against Creighton.......

Exceedingly annoying that DK opened Butler +14.5. Anyone know why Fanduel isn't in NH?

Spread seems a bit high to me. I think they may be reading too much into our epic game on both ends vs Xavier. We are good, but that wasn't the norm.

When Vegas begs you to take the points, they’re comfortable laying them.

When they zig? You zag. I have -14.5 on DK right and and laying the hay.

***The Deepster is 7-4 ATS this season.

And we basically could've picked our score against Creighton.

Haven't played our best game yet.

16.5 was insane, I saw 14.5 on Draftkings and put a small bet on Butler +14.5 last night.

Now it's down to +14 and I'm using the Draftkings insured parlay promo to go:
Butler +8 1H (first half spread)
Butler +14
Butler Over 66.5

I also sprinkled some free bets on Butler +700, but that's purely an emotional hedge and I have to do something with the free bets anyway. I might also make some live bets depending on how things look.

I think we'll win a semi-close, but ultimately fairly comfortable, but high-ish scoring game. I expect something like 40-34 at half, a final like 83-73, played mostly in the range of a 7-12 point lead.
