Opening line. Spread suggests we would be 2 point favorites at home.
8 point home court advantage, is that right?
Yeah the home court advantage is slightly less than 4 points this year. I think the teams were evenly matched without Howard or Len, but we'll see. I would take Wake +6 and the under 144.
Would you really put money on it? +6 is a mighty slim margin to wager on w/ a coach that is 1-31 in major conference games on the road (/beating dead horse).
1-31. Of those 31 losses, 21 have been by double digits.
Last year, on the road (0-8) our margins of defeat were:
-21
-29
-35
-24
-21
-14
-14
-16
Now, I know Maryland isn't the cream of the crop, but still... I'm curious to see who would really take that bet at this point.
TAKE THE UNDER
I'm going. I may put some on the Twerps to make it hurt less when we get blown out.
We lost 14 ACC games by double digits last year and opened up as only 6.5 dogs to VT in our first ACC game and won outright. Vegas isn't really concerned with what happened with a completely different team.
Also, if you plan on the emotional hedge you should play the moneyline even though it doesn't pay out as well. Nothing would be worse that a Wake cover and a Maryland win.
TAKE THE UNDER
So we are the best team Maryland has played at home to date? Amazing.
