    Head Scratching Line
    Ohio State getting 6 from Duke? No way Duke is better than Ohio State is. Line should be closer to 1.5 or 2 at most.

    Duke at home is driving the line. Their out of conference record at Cameron Indoor is nuts. 80+ wins in a row I believe.

          It's @ Duke...Cameron Indoor == Duke's home floor (terrible gym fwiw).

            they are not much better but they have a big home court advantage I did not bet the game. I don't think either of these teams are top 5

              I used 4 points for home court advantage and still came out with Ohio State +1.5 or +2

                Unload then I guess...I wouldn't though Duke blows them out enough in this spot for me to shade it.

                    It is more than 4, especially if you cross 0 you really need to make it more than 4, because going from -1 to +1 is not a big move

                        I disagree. Games still land on 1. PK to 1 and 1 to PK is only like a half point really but still. NO WAY the home team should ever get more than 4. I usually go with 3's and 3.5's but I'll use 4 when I see big games with a team like Duke, Wisconsin, and others

                          if you move from -2 to +2 you basically saying Duke has a 46% chance to win neutral and 54% at home. their HC is worth a lot more than that

                              I disagree. Duke is beatable at home, they just rarely play good teams there it seems like

                                  insightful post but I think moving the line 3 points no matter what is the best and easiest way to look at it.
