Boilers -8.5

[bonefish1]

That's a pretty big spread for an unranked opponent over a top 20 team. But, those guys in Vegas get paid well for a reason.....

This will be a good test to see how we fair against a long athletic team.

I suspect the Paint Crew will be ready.

Interesting. My guess is that the line will move toward UL and decrease the spread. Even with my Purdue glasses on I would guess -4ish.

Bovada has it 78-70 --- Vince with 12.5 and Carsen with 16.5 .... carsen with two 3-pointers. I think I'd take the over on carsen with 2.

Vince with 8.5 rebounds .... wow, that surprises me.

Read somewhere that Spalding's availability for the game is questionable. 6' 10" averaging 12 pts/9 reb.
Seems a lot of people are taking the 8.5 and Louisville but not much change in the line. Perhaps the oddsmaker think Spalding will be either benched or limited with his injured ankle and are ok with their line. Who knows? I just know that for the most part they are pretty uncanny in their work.
Over/under at 149

I agree that they are pretty darn good at what they do ... we'll know a LOT more tomorrow

Hopefully he's limited.

Hopefully he's limited.

If not by his ankle, then certainly by the Boilers!!! BTFU

I believe it opened at 7. So the money moved with Purdue not against.

That seems like a big number.

I just looked at Oddsshark and I agree that it moved to Purdue from 7 and 7.5 to 8 and 8.5 with a lot of bets still on the Boilers.
Couple touts that I saw said Boilers still cover...

Line 8.5, win by 9. Yeah, the odds guys are shocking.
Missed the O/U by a lot though.

The computer models still love purdue quite a bit

Spot on.

Taking the under would have been a sweet play.

Taking the under would have been a sweet play.

Yeah.. before the game I was considering that if I was a betting man I might take the over... Glad I'm not!!!
