THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
The opening line is URI / VCU Pick meaning even up . I expect this line to change later today to favor URI by 1-2 points . Even at that
I would stay away from this one . Have to admit I am surprised at the initial Pick 'em line.

Suprised it opened at a pick em game. Between the 2 teams i would expect a pick em on a neutral court. I would expect this line to move closer to the home court advantage of 3-4 pts.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
Should be at least URI -3. We beat them at home. The ryan center is going to be a keaney blue monster.
GO RAMS

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
One would have reasonably assumed URI would be a slight favorite given it is a home game and Rhody already beat them on their court weeks earlier. Even more so if you add in the fact that URI has won all but one game in the last eight meetings.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
The line is already up to URI - 1 . I would expect the line to move up some more before game time.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
As long as the gambling bibles say Rhody should be getting 3-4 points, gamblers are going to be hammering the home team with value so I’d expect it to keep moving.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
It's because all of the metrics favor VCU, except RPI which doesn't count anymore.
We can change all that tonight.

Maybe taking a hobbled Harris into account?

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
Cox say Harris could play 20 minutes tonight.
That's about as many as he ever plays.
Let's hope they are productive minutes.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
The metrics (KenPom and sagarin) would both have URI favored by 3-4 points. The reason the line started where it did and is where it is because VCU is a public team compared to URI. The types of college basketball fans who would gamble on and watch this game will almost always take points with VCU to beat Rhode Island.rambone 78 wrote: ↑4 years ago It's because all of the metrics favor VCU, except RPI which doesn't count anymore.

I hope the line stays VCU -1 and the good Rams are made aware before tip off.

I ran into Jermaine going into the Ryan Center an hour ago. He is good to go he told me.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
I watched VCU play Richmond the other day and they looked MUCH better than the last time we played them. Richmond shot .500, went 21-25 at the free throw line, and still lost by 20. It was an above average game from VCU but a good win like that will carry some momentum. The freshman Hyland is gonna be a problem in this league. My money is on Rhody +1 but i have a bad feeling about it.

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
What circumstances led to you watching VCU/Richmond and not URI/Mason?

Re: THE EARLY LINE URI VS VCU
You can all thank me for this winning streak. I’ve been successfully (because they win and cover)betting against URI for the vast majority of this steak - including tonight. Do I like losing money? No, but I’m not going to stop if it’s working!
Go Rhody!
