Tonight's Valley Games- 2/24

[shocks771]

Northern Iowa
@ Illinois State (-6.5)

Creighton
@ Missouri State (+6)

Indiana State
@ Wichita State (-8.5)

I'll take all of the favorites to win and cover. Go Shox!

We're 8.5 point favorites? Over an InSU team on a winning streak with four MVC road wins?

I know we're on a roll at home, but any more than five points on a betting line seems crazy. (Of course, I don't follow betting lines so take it for what it's worth).

Yeah, it is a little high, I was expecting the line to be in the 6-7 range.

those lines are why serious sports bettors like the MVC.

I think from tonight, through the rest of the HCGM tenure, Wichita State at home will be a +7 or better.

Look what we did to Creighton, Illinois State, Cleveland State....

If it is a good team, expect around 7. If a lower level team, expect 8-10.

[RoyalShock]

But we're playing a team that has won four conference road games. Three of those four wins were at locations where we lost by double-digits. The other win was at SIU.

My prediction is pretty much on par with the betting line. But I expected the line to be much more conservative.

Oh well. I hope we perform up to Vegas' expectations!

Vegas and the bettors probably are reacting some to the Cleveland State game.

[ShockerFever]

I'd take Indiana State in the points.

I remember the CU @ UNI (-1.5) line thinking it was off...was thinking it should have been more like -5. Obviously Vegas was right.

Now I'm thinking our line is off...-6 seems more reasonable. Hopefully Vegas knows best again. So, I'm giving the points!!
