Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS ST.JOES

On game day Vegas insider has one site at St. Joes -5 another at -5.5 and another at - 6 . so the line has moved by as much as 2 points from
draft Kings opening line of -7.5 which could be a good sign .

THE EARLY LINE URI VS ST.JOES

Draft Kings has released its opening line and it is ST. Joes - 7.5 . This is probably a fair line for this game .
