I would hedge for sure. MSU plays a slower tempo and are not the worst 16 seed you will see.
Personally, take the guaranteed profit, unless you love this game, unlike any other.
Honest question, not trying to criticize, but:
Why would you add Louisville in your parlay if you were just going to hedge them out of it?
FWIW, I think Louisville covers easily.
Louisville (usually pronounced /ˈluːǝvǝl/ <small class="metadata">(help·info)</small>; see Pronunciation below) is Kentucky's largest city and county seat of Jefferson County. The city's estimated population as of 2006 is listed as 557,789, with a population of 1,233,733 in the Louisville metropolitan area. The Louisville-Elizabethtown-Scottsburg, KY-IN Combined Statistical Area, which adds Hardin County, Kentucky, LaRue County, Kentucky, and Scott County, Indiana, has a 2006 estimated population of 1,356,798. Louisville is most famous as the home of "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports": the Kentucky Derby, the widely watched first race of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

Question: Why hedge Louisville in a parlay? You just need the winner for a parlay....at least from what I know. I usually stay
away from them especially in tournaments due to so many upsets, but Louisville should win easily.
I'm waiting til the last minute. Bodog is already up to 22.5. If this game steams up to 24, I could hedge and have a narrow shot at a middle.
