Big Ten over 3.5 wins??????????

crudebar · Mar 16, 2004

the line has gone from -130 to +170 at the greek. is someone injuried?

Nope. I guess people don't figure any of them to make it past the second round as dogs. Even if they each win their first game, one of them would need to win as a dog -- MichSt vs. Gonzaga, Wisc v. Pitt, Illinois v. Cincy. And if say MSU were to lose then either Wisc and ILL would both need to win or one would need to go to the elite 8. I can see why it's a big + for O3.5 though I like the Big 10 and I think they can reach 4 wins here.

Kind of an oddball prop, which may explain the heavy movement. Obviously whoever came up with the opening number did not expect it to move so much. Who is right, the linemaker or the bettors, remains to be seen.

big variation on the wisconsin badgers winning the tourney. varies from 13 to 1 at betwwts to 50 to 1 at the greek.

a number like that certainly tells me that Vegas thinks that the Spartans are going to lose to Nevada SU.

Agree with them to go UNDER, but I'm not confident Wisky will be a dog to Pitt in Milwaukee. HAs "pkem" written all over it.

nor is ILL much of a dog to Cincy, I actually expect Cincy to go down round 1. I have wiscy winning it all.

I agree Fezzik, I think Wisky(& not Ill) is the catalyst for or against this play.

Can't wait for the possiblility of an old-school strangulation match between Wisky-Pitt, reminds me of Bruno Sammartino-Billy Graham..hey, I was kid!

Wisky quite capable of jamming up Pitt, as Panthers get out of the blocks slowly on Offense sometimes, plus Badgers may have best go-to-guy on the floor?
