Message: [QUOTE="EastCoast2, post: 1903426, member: 488"] Vegas, as opposed to lazy sports journalists, actually has skin in the game, and is usually more accurate than these preseason rankings. Some expected public behavior is priced into these lines, but I was pleasantly surprised to see our team, while unranked, or in the 20-25 range in most meaningless October polls, is thought of as the 3rd best team int he country by a consensus, unbiased group. Duke's odds are most likely inflated due to the hype and heavy money coming in on them. Syracuse is the team nobody is talking about, and look where we are: [SIZE=5]+300 Duke +1,000 Kentucky [COLOR=#ff8000][B]+1,200 Syracuse[/B][/COLOR] +1,200 Kansas +1,500 Virginia +1,500 UNC +1,600 Oregon +1,600 Wisconsin +2,000 Arizona +2,500 Villanova +3,000 Louisville +3,000 Indiana +3,000 UConn +5,000 Xavier +5,000 Utah[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
