Michigan State +3 2h...

PeterGriffin · Mar 1, 2009

Simply put, I don't think Illinois is good enough to come back on this MSU team. I realize they're at home and will probably make a run or two, but I think talent wins out in the end and MSU wins by DD. I also think the 2h line is an overreaction due to the game line being Illinois -2. Should be more like a PK IMO.

Me too! I've been going against this Illini team all year. I think Vegas has given them way too much credit all year long, based mostly on their record.

What a pathetic performance by MSU. Sorry to anyone who may have followed. They have scored something like 2 points over the last 5 minutes. That's going to be the reason why they don't cover the 2h number. I guess I should have expected this since they're on the road. I doubt this would have happened if they were at home.

My bad. I spoke too soon. The way MSU was playing it looked like they weren't even going to win the game, let alone win by 4. Glad I won, but I got lucky there. Could have went either way in the last couple minutes of the game.

i thought the same thing about them pulling away too but a win is a win.

No kidding. I assumed Illinois would make a run at some point, but I also thought State would answer that run right away. Instead, Illinois went on a big run and then Michigan State couldn't score any points to build the lead back up. It's a good thing the Spartans were playing good defense at that time because if they hadn't been, Illinois would have actually taken the lead and might not have looked back. Michigan State ended up covering the 2h number by 5 points but like I said, that game could have easily gone the other way.
