UConn -7.5 v. Providence

[Matt1010]

Big time home matchup against PC tomorrow and the opener is in line with Kenpom spread of -8 (77%).

Just win!

Just win!

-8 is a big number given UConn's inability to close games w/o drama

bet PC to cover before the line drops

Not with a 40 foot pole.

If that spread is right, the moneyline would be around -270/+220, which implies that we're like 70% to win. That's way too high.

Setting aside fanhood, I'd take Providence moneyline in that scenario.

 

[BigFanCT]

What an absolute wild line

 

[Matt1010]

Fwiw PC is 5-7 in away/neutral setting games this year

KenPom has an 8 pt win and a 77% win probability... so pretty in line with Vegas

Gotcha. I was looking for it to try and parlay it with some of the action for today. Lol

Looking at
SDSU -10.5 for CSU
Xavier -4.5 for Nova
Miami ML for VTech

All due respect, I'll be rooting for you to lose money tomorrow (will also be there. 1st game at Gampel this season.).

I would be happy to lose that bet

That is a big number - thought it would be closer.

But I don’t care - just win.

 

[gtcam]

A win even by 1 is good for me
Besides I don’t bet sports

All 13 of our home wins have come by at least 8 points.

Glad at least one person is paying attention.

All 13 of our home wins have come by at least 8 points.

That's the recipe, we run teams off the court. Close games are really bad for us.

 

[auror]

Of course that is not to say it will definitely happen. Rivalry games play close usually. But "big number" is what we do, generally.

 

[MrSec224]

Almost feel like if we win it will be by 10+. If its a tight game its prob not a good thing

Past performance is not an indicator of future outcomes.

 

[XLCenterFan]

That's a massive number. If any of the top 5 BE teams play, and the line is 7.5, I would take the points every single time.

 

[auror]

Past performance is not an indicator of future outcomes.

It's absolutely an indicator, that's the whole point of predictive metrics. It's just not a guarantor.

 

[PNolanFan]

I feel like the team is ready to womp providence. I like us winning by double digits
