Tuesday Dilemma

[The Big Tease]

OK......Syracuse, oh by the way, the defending National Champs are installed as an underdog for the THIRD consecutive game.

As crazy is it seemed, they covered both of the last two games with ease.....

Can Vegas keep making Syracuse an underdog and expect to make money???

Well now Seton Hall gets their chance to knock off the champs.......

Power Ranking-wise.....the Hall is the best of the three past teams to try and knock them off as a favorite.

Can they do it? Personally I gotta hang with the Hall. Syracuse will not cover three stright games as an underdog.....it just wont happen

 

[THE WIZZARD]

TOTALLY AGREE...ON SHALL BIG.


WIZZ.

I think SU can do this, I dont think they are given enough credit, it will be a tight game, but I think the CUSE can pull it off! GL on the play!!

Don't normally butt in to these threads. But...

I've watched these guys play several times this year and they continue to amaze me. The games @mizzou& @ND weren't even CLOSE!

I'll take 'cuse with points against anybody.

In championship run SU was a dog to OKLA, TEXAS and KANSAS.

I think Boeheim has them relishing this role.

SU matches up well with the Hall. Edelin is too strong for Barret to contain. As long as Forth continues to play tough, I think SU is very dangerous as a dog.

SU by 5.

I dunno....far different situation then the champ. run

But I do like it that people love the Cuse!

 

[twofingers]

Agreed that it is a different situation, but SU has shown that they can win on the road consistently with this group of players.

If they were favored on the road, then I would look at playing against but they are playing much to well to bet against.

Possible play against vs. Rutgers at the RAC. They never play well there.

SU or pass IMHO

Just FYI, right before tipoff on Saturday, the SU-ND game went to PK at a lot of places, and I even saw a couple SU -1, so it's technically not the third game in a row that they've been underdogs.

I do agree, though, that SH is the right side here. Vegas usually represents the cool head of logic, and more times than not when you see a line that looks way off to you, it's you that has made the mistake - not Vegas. It is pretty easy to see where the lines have come from the last two SU games. Against Missouri, they were playing there first true road game, while Missouri has been overvalued this year and really needed the W. They didn't get it, because at this point people are starting to realize that Missouri simply isn't that good (their victory over Okla this weekend was lessened by the trouncing OKla took last night; they're even worse). Then, in the ND game, SU just shot absolutely lights out. 56% from the field (35-62), including 50% from behind the arc (5-10) will get it done for you on the road every time. But ND on defense allows opponents to shoot 44% FGs, and 39% 3Pts. The SH defense is not nearly as forgiving. SH holds opponents to under 39% from the field, and under 31% from behind the arc. Syracuse just has not faced a good defense on the road yet this year, and it will show tonight. There is no way that they will replicate their shooting from Saturday. Really think Vegas knows what it's doing with this line. You've got the unranked home favored over ranked system in play here, and the double revenge factor.

Haven't seen a total yet for this game but would also lean to the under.
