I was surprised to see this, but maybe I shouldn't have been? I certainly expected a tough game, but I didn't expect it to be an upset if the Gophers won. This should be a nice test, hope the Gophers can pass it.
The value of home court advantage. Perhaps more surprising is scheduling a strong opponent on the road the second game of the year. How soon in advance are these early games scheduled? Was this just last year or a couple years ago?I was surprised to see this, but maybe I shouldn't have been?

Typically homecourt is worth five points. We'd be around 7.5 at home, probably favored by 2, 2.5 on a neutral floorI was surprised to see this, but maybe I shouldn't have been?

Home court is worth 4 usually and 2-2.5 for crappier teams. You’re close, but we’d be probably 3.5 or 4 point favorites at home.Typically homecourt is worth five points. We'd be around 7.5 at home, probably favored by 2, 2.5 on a neutral floor
I think that’s the adjustment. Holt is worth 1.5 or 2 points. -3.5 down to -1.5/-2.Just took the Gophers straight up at +140 as they were 2 point dogs when I bet..bovada must not have adjusted it yet
Is that all it moved? I just figured with Holt out and the status of their other guard in the air it would move more. Good line imo even though we didn't look too hot against UpstateI think that’s the adjustment. Holt is worth 1.5 or 2 points. -3.5 down to -1.5/-2.
Nice work.Laying 2-3 point in the Gophers looks good in theory. But, betting a one possession spread on the underdog side feels like bad news. A game within one possession seems to have a tendency to end in fouling and free throws. Just makes me lean towards betting the line on the underdog.
Minnesota wins this game outright.
Parlayed Minn outright with Central Mich to cover vs Mich plus the Cavs to win. Was a nice take tonightLaying 2-3 point in the Gophers looks good in theory.
