How long has it been since we had a "It's gameday b******!"

I miss those days.

I'm sorry, I'm older and not as excitable. I'll try to do better.

Shockers open as 7.5 point favorites, o/u 143.5

[SkoShox]

Opened at -6.5 on DK. Now at -8 with 94% of the money on WKU side. Interesting

WSU -8 is a BIG spread for our team. I would probably hammer the WKU side as well.

[shocker43]

Shockers - 74
WKU - 60

[WINGdingBALLfling]

Rockstar Grandmas - 79
WKU Red Blobs - 74

If they play 10 or 11 guys, and if they press (surely they will) they should wear us down and win the second half. Need to get out to a good start.

[Shocktoberfest]

If any team goes 9 or 10 deep they are crazy if they don't press us.

It's interesting IF it's right. That's not how lines move. If 94% of the money was taking WKU then the book would move the line the other way to encourage money on WSU. This doesn't make any sense. The line should be moving to -5 or -4 not higher.

-8 does seem high but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Things I'd like to see:
Germany to start to get his footing on the team and show he can contribute in times other than Junk time. I think he's going to be key to this year not going off the rails as I'm not confident that Ballard can stay healthy.
Limited TO from our guards
>30% from 3.

I just looked. He got it backwards. 94% of the bets are on WSU, which is definitely interesting in and of itself. Our name still carries weight with the casual bettors. I’m guessing when the smart money comes in later, the line will likely swing back towards WKU, probably finishing up around WSU -5.5. Currently at -7.5 though.

My trusted source scoresandodds.com has -7.5 with 77% of the "bets" on WSU and 59% of the money on WSU..........still like my prediction of 78-73 WSU
