Syracuse Orange +5.5 Home Dogs vs. Tennessee Orange

[AlaskaSU]

I'm not saying that we win, but I think this game will be very competitive. The SU team that played Iowa State was on fumes and never got their legs back coming out of halftime.

This team is not as good as we hoped, but not nearly as bad as this board has made them out to be the past few days. That tournament was a terrible draw for us.

Silly excuse.

All we can do is watch if the dreaded back to back blow out happens which have plagued Autry.

How this team dealt with Iowa State slaughtering us and now Donnie being out again will tell us everything we need to know until Clemson in a month.

A win prob puts us back to a 40% chance for tourney. If we show up to play and come up just short again there’s maybe that outside 10-20% chance of the tourney.

Another double digit blowout shows that the guys are just not mentally tough enough or physical enough or both to handle the run they need to make in ACC play. Maybe a 2% chance then. I’d be willing to pump that all the way up to 3% chance if Donnie comes back.

I feel like this matchup shows that ESPN bought the hype and believed we had a chance at a good season. We can still draw eyeballs which is why is critical we make the move asap if red falters

AA about to be 2-20 in quad 1 games in his 3 years.

This game hasn’t even been played yet and we’re only 6 point dogs. FFS

Cuse barely lost to Houston in OT and Tennessee beat them in a close one. Cuse lost to Kansas by 10 and Tennessee lost to them by 5. We have home court advantage. Not sure why it seems so controversial.

The Houston line closed at +14.5, on a neutral court. Even if you figure we get +3pts based on home court/travel for Tennessee, that’s +8.5 on a neutral. We know there isn’t a 6pt difference between Houston/Tenn because Tenn was a 3pt dog and beat Houston.


It appears to be a fishy line unless Donnie is playing or someone from Tennessee is out. The third and most unlikely possibility is Vegas thinks we keep it very close

 

[FloridaCuse]

Point Spread is now 6.5 after FD, Caesars & ESPN weighed in. DK still at 5.5

ESPN predictor gives Tennessee 71.1% chance of winning.

Spread this morning is now 7.5.

Or they don’t view him missing as having much impact.

Yeah but then the actual game happened and we took them to OT. Still really do not think it is fishy at all. Just based on the scores of the games with our two mutual opponents

 

[FloridaCuse]

Spread this morning is now 7.5.

Note: for about an hour this morning (between 10 & 11am) the spread had gone up to 8.5. But now it's back down to 7.5.

Have we played a tougher 4 game stretch?

No. As it turns out, that Vegas tournament did us no favors -- we played arguably the top 3 teams in the tournament, and now have to face the 4th top team.

Brutal stretch.

Brutal stretch.

Yup. The final four in March could easily include Houston, Iowa St and Tennessee. Brutal is right

This board in every single one of these threads for ten years thinks the road team is getting too many points, or not giving enough. Every single time. It's hilarious.

 

[upperdeck]

Kalshi line is 6.5 vegas line more like around 8.

 

[CardiacCuse]

idk listening to rick barnes talk about the game...i just got the feeling that tenn will lose.

I predict SU victory

fishy lines are fish for a reason...begging everyone to take tenn is a red flag

 

[jncuse]

KP had this one at 6.5 based on ADJEM, so its just another case Vegas lines having a model very similar to open then KP. Once this point of year has been reached, 90% of games are going to be within a point, maybe 1.5 of KP.

Run to the smell.

That's crazy. I don't sports bet but there is no way in heck I would take Syracuse plus five. The barn doors are going to be blown open again, probably commencing in early 2nd half

As scotch said when it smells fishy run TOWARDS the stench. Barn doors stayed intact last night

Another perfect example why I will never bet on sports, especially Cuse! I guess one person stench is another person fragrance of choice lol.

Had Cuse +7..
