Shouldn't this game be a pickum?

Shouldn't this game be a pickum?

I would think so, but the Vegas oddsmakers are pretty smart guys. I assume the fully understand our injury situation.

Does Vegas know we are without 3 starters?

Vegas knows more than we know....

Remember that the line is not the margin Vegas is predicting, but the margin to get equal bets on both sides.

Actually we didn't...thankfully. :D

Line started at 10.5 went all the way down to 7, then went back to 10.

I thought it stayed at 7. That's a crazy progression of the line if that's how it went down. I don't think I've heard of that kind of roller coaster in a while.

So how does this work? We drop from 9 players to 8 players and we go from 7 point favorites to 10? Yikes!! Last night when we were down up to 11 and 12 points with 8 brave players, who also include those with ailments, it was poetry in motion to watch the dedication and intestional fortitude of our players having the mental toughness to execute and scratch and claw their way to victory.
