Tulane Spread

Postby ClickClack » Mon Oct 24, 2016 2:07 pm

After opening a 2.5 pt favorite, We are already 2.5 pt dogs.

Sharp guys in the desert like Tulane here.

There have already been over 510 tickets bet on this game in LV, which is extremely high considering its Monday. They are looking at this as a classic let down on the road coming off that big win.

Hope our guys come ready to play.

We don't have the best record defending the triple options. While Morris/Malone have improved the defense significantly, the LB play (which is critical to stopping the option) has been spotty at best.

The line is not so much about what these line-setters think will happen, the line is set so that the house always takes money. If the casinos really set the line at what they thought would happen and they were wrong, they'd lose, and only gain a little by being right. But if you set the line so that you can get as many betters as possible on both sides of the bet, 50:50, you'll always make big money, no matter what happens. That's the genius.
