What I thought. It's crazy we aren't ranked yet we're projected to be a top 10. Boy that USF loss really was awful.

The Nugget opened at -3.5 but LVH and Harrah's all opened up at -3. Will be interesting to see how it moves once the offshores post and the action starts coming in.

My take, and I should wait until tomorrow around noon to opine on this, but given the national attention lately, the public may be on board with SMU and the home streak while the sharps will gladly take Cincy and points from a value perspective.

Again, i'll have a better indication around noon tomorrow.

Id say it happens a minimum of 3-4 times per week. On wednesday night Boise St was -1.5 to #5 SDSU and West Va was -3 against #25 OU

other unranked favs VS ranked teams tomorrow in K state/UT

not surprised, i think SMU was actually the better overall team when we played them on New Years Day. Cincy won it at the free throw line. All this team needs is confidence. With Nic Moore scoring and distributing and Kennedy doing it all, thats a lethal combo. If Sterling and Keith start dropping in shots like the other night, its scary.

Smu is 8-0 vs the spread in home games this season. 13-6 overall vs the spread....bet on SMU to beat the spread.

Yes we are definitely better. That was our first real tough game in the road. (Maybe Ark). But I always get worried when SMU is favored and everyone predicts a win.
