This is an interesting line. I am not sure why, but I expected us to be favored. The SMU Mustangs have been paying bettors all season long, especially at home. Over the past 16 games, the Mustangs are 13-3 against the spread including 8-1 at home.
During that 8-1 ATS home streak, the Mustangs have covered against three teams currently ranked in the top 25.
The Mustangs will look to cover as they are a 2.5-point road dog against No.9 Louisville Wednesday.

"The Mustangs will look to cover"?
Should be, "The Mustangs will look to give their @$$ a beatdown."

Fair line. And something for our guys to think about. Moody is bedlam but we are still underdogs to Louisville. Looks like the betters are not intimidated by Moody, LB or the 18th ranked Mustangs.

I can understand us being underdogs simply because Louisville was undefeated on the road in conference until Saturday. Clearly, they aren't afraid of anyone's home court. Gives us a great chance to take it up a notch and show them just how hard it is to play here.
I like the "nobody believes in us" vibe for the team that being an underdog represents. And all that matters to me is final score.

Yeah they are the reigning champions but this stuns me...we were favs vs. 7th ranked Cinci at the time as the oddsmakers did realize the home court is tough here....thought that 15-0 really is a real deal as SMU did beat 4 ranked teams. Lets cover tonight!

This is 11 points different from what I saw you predict, right?

Yep grant carter, man I was way off..and UL has only beat one ranked team. Whats 11 points among friends though, huh? That why I don't bet often. I have to bet that SMU covers though....
