Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
I'm not sure what that's worth. UNC is a lot closer to UNCC than they are to CU.
As I understand it, the rule of thumb is that home field is worth 3 points. The opening line kind of indicates that the boys in the desert think App and UNC are pretty equal. Be interesting to see how much that line moves over the next few days.

Yeah, home team gets 3 so it's basically a pick.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 2:26 pm

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
Probably still play it just because I’d kick myself for missing out on it but gotta say Vegas has more faith in us than i do at this moment.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
I'd be willing to bet that 3.5 gets bet up significantly by UNC fans. I don't gamble but if I did, hard pass right now.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
I think that was the precise reason to set it so low. I see early money bumping it up, which increases the value of picking App.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
Before you all think that over is such easy money, perhaps focus less on the App-UNCC final and consider that the totals in UNC’s three games have been 44, 53 and 42.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
Sure, but we can score and you have to figure that UNC is going to play 4 quarters of offense at some point.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 3:39 pmBefore you all think that over is such easy money, perhaps focus less on the App-UNCC final and consider that the totals in UNC’s three games have been 44, 53 and 42.

Hopefully, they wait until Clemson to start playing all 4 quarters.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 3:45 pmSure, but we can score and you have to figure that UNC is going to play 4 quarters of offense at some point.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 3:39 pmBefore you all think that over is such easy money, perhaps focus less on the App-UNCC final and consider that the totals in UNC’s three games have been 44, 53 and 42.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
Too many unknowns from both teams. UNC looked like trash against Wake, while our last game wasn't what was expected. Not sure how the extra week of preparations will go. O/U and spread are too risky for me to play. I did say before the season started I would throw down on the money line, because I think App can win.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
This early in the season no one is quite sure how this will go. The two power rankings that I watch are split with Sagarin showing a UNC win by approximately 8 points while the Massey Ratings predict that App has a 64% chance to win 31 to 26. Sagarin has App ranked at 62 and UNC at 39 and Massey has App ranked at 43 and UNC at 59.
Personally, I think we are very close to Wake regarding talent. This game has the makings of a barn burner unless one or the others defense steps up.

Re: UNC favored by Vegas -3.5
The rule of thumb is to bet the underdog if you can make the case that they will win outright. I would wait until Thursday though and let the public bet it up to 5.5 or 6. Money lines are are too risky for my blood./\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:03 amToo many unknowns from both teams.
