THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
The opening line on this game is URI - 19 1/2. would like to see extended minutes for Lassard and Tersea.
Hopefully they can win fairly easily. I don't care if they cover the spread or not, just play well.

How much money does it take to move a line?

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
In 15 games this century URI has lost 2 of them vs Brown and only 3 times have they covered a 19.5 point spread
Seems like a lot of points for URI to cover
I'll be happy with a win, period. I'm not so confident going into this game. Better hope it doesn't become a Free Throw battle as Brown as a team is shooing 78% from the Line. Brandon Anderson can score, can't let their shooters get hot.
I would not touch 19.5 points, not even 10 points.

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
as you said Luke, opened at -19 1/2. Vegasinsider now has 5 at - 20 1/2 and 1 at - 20 points
A lot of points.

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
The numbers say Brown is the worst team we'll play all season, but the games don't usually play out that way.
If we play with intensity we'll win fairly easily, but will we?

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
It is tied to the percentage of money in either direction. In Vegas, point spread bets are almost always at -110 (for both sides). If Vegas can get the money to be 50/50 with both bets at -110 odds, the casino makes their profit since neither side will pay even money.theblueram wrote:How much money does it take to move a line?

I'm not sure what you can read into these games when it comes to point spread. How many times during this stretch did we have a team as good as this one?ramster wrote:In 15 games this century URI has lost 2 of them vs Brown and only 3 times have they covered a 19.5 point spread

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
URI had a pretty good team last year and ONLY beat Brown in Kingston by a score of 79-72. My guess is the point spread was much more than 7.RhowdyRam02 wrote:I'm not sure what you can read into these games when it comes to point spread.

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
i'm thinking the spread is a bit much. Confident Rhody handles business but thinking more in the area of 10-15 pt margin

Re: THE EARLY LINE U R I VS BROWN
not much confidence on the Board vs this spread which is now up to as much as URI - 20 1/2. i have
to agree that the spread sounds large. However, I wouldn't go against the spread either because Rhody
has been playing well even against lesser opponents, something they haven't always done in the past. So
I would caution against playing this game for betting purposes. I do expect a win, but as was said, in
the 10-15 point range.
