Wow. I don’t see us as a favorite here. We can win but based on the stinkers we laid @ Syracuse and Louisville, we got the lot to fix if we hope to win on the road. I hope Vegas is right but I would not put money on it.
Go Jackets!
It’s mostly due to bettors fading the holes.
GT, puke and the holes all have paltry home field advantages (roughly 2.25 points apiece).
The holes closed a 1.5 pt favorite at puke, indicating they’d be favored by 3.75 on a neutral field. Puke won by 1… pretty close to the spread.
GT closed a 10 pt favorite against puke, indicating we’d be favored by 7.75 on a neutral field. We won by 10 so right on spread-wise.
These two lines suggest we’d be favored by 4-ish over the holes on a neutral field or around 2-ish in Chapel Hill. We opened -3.5 on fan duel and it’s now been bet up to -5.5.
