Lets discuss ND this month.
At this moment nearly 2/3 of the money is on them yet the number has not really budged.
-They are 2-3 ATS in Feb.
-They have played 7 OT periods between 3 games along with tonight being their 6th game in 17 nights
-They have played DePaul twice (2 of the OTs as well) and according to Kenpom, DePaul has the #1 offensive tempo in the country.
-They have traveled to Syracuse and were at Providence two days ago. Assuming they went back home to Ind, they are going back out to Pittsburgh today which is very quick turnaround to go from the midwest out East. We're looking at long times having to travel and be in airports as well as a lot of temperature variance for a body to adjust to over and over. Not that this is a ridiculous amount of travel, I feel like this is the point where home teams have a huge advantage in conference play in this big conferences since some teams have to bounce around so often.
-Pittsburgh will play a physical game and they know damn well about what I posted above and will try to exploit it
Normally 10 would be way too high for these two teams but a tease or halftime bet has to be on Pitt considering what ND has done this month, these kids aren't invincible.
