That's the only thing I'm worried about. Wichita has more depth, better players and matches up well with Tenn in this game. Plus they are 22-3 in like the last years on the road. Give me the Shockers + the points.

This is always an automatic play for me, combined with a couple other factors going into tonights matchup I have a rather large play on Tenn.

#10 Posted: 12/13/2012 12:15:54 PM not only an unranked home team laying points to a ranked team, but the fact that it looks like 95% of the board is on wsu - good luck if you are playing the shockers tonight, you will need it for sure.

Help me understand this. If the smart money is coming in on Tenn, why has Wichita State gone from getting 1.5 points to getting no points? |

well that theory isnt necessarily true, wichita is only ranked in the AP not the coaches poll so they arent technically ranked

TN with the win.
I agree with this completely. I'm playing Wichita St. but just for an average play. It's always a HUGE RED FLAG when you see a ranked team on the road and they don't open as a favorite.
That said, I like Wichita St, they still aren't getting a lot of respect. Tennessee shoots poorly from the line and WS has some good senior leadership which gives them less of a disadvantage on the road.
Good luck on your plays. Locked this in last night at a pick em myself.

#19 Posted: 12/13/2012 3:20:23 PM EVERYONE can agree that the shockers are on a different level that the volunteers, but the lines are set for a reason - they always are.
there is no such thing as free money |

score enough points to keep pace with the Shockers and the only position Tennessee will have a slight
advantage is at point guard…
If
this line was 3 to 5 like it should be, none of us would question the play and
gladly put dollars on the superior team (Shockers). Vegas either set this line for the public to over
think this one OR they have delivered a suitcase full of money to the friends and
family of the Shocker program…
