I like all home dogs against top 25 teams early in the season.     They were 9-4 on the weekend, 4 won outright, 2 loss in OT, and another two loss by 2 points or less.

But 2 lines have shifted quite a but this year that I noted, that seems to be more than a general betting pattern for home dogs, and more specific to Syracuse... Miami went from -17 all the way down to -12.     Boston College went form -11 to now -8.5.   I have not followed other top team lines, but I would hazard a guess they are not all this drastic.

I wonder if part of it is Sagarin or similar system betters.    Sagarin and KP view this team very differently (KP Looks at us much more favourably), and my observations when there is a difference on a team in the two ratings , is that the line opens closer to what KP says.

But a good point raised as well about our already slow pace, slowing down even more once we get a comfortable lead, making the line attractive.   Our pace is low for a top 15 team.
