PU -12 vs Utah State

[Dryfly88]

Opened at -9 and early money jumped on PU. Has moved to -12 now. I think that might be a little too much. What do you think??

Based on Villanova, not too much. Based on Georgia State, way too much.

Villanova did cover, though; surprised there was that much movement.

Feels like too much. These holiday tournaments can be trouble.

Me too. A 3 point movement is quite a bit.

I thought I saw the closing line as Villanova -2/2.5.....over/under was 149 from what I recall.

The site I use had -2 as closing line on Villanova. Those damn people in the desert have a way don't they?

I don't gamble much anymore but I do enjoy the "science" behind it. 60 minutes did a good story on Billy Walters. It was fascinating all the background and research that goes into setting lines and then how guys like him manipulate the line to where they want it. I would love to follow him around for a day.

You play long enough......the House wins. But at least you'll get an equal amount of blueberries in your muffins.
