Xavier -4 or -170 ML looks like awesome value. Personally, I'll take the Xavier ML, just in case Wisconsin keeps it close with defense. But I think a bigger margin is plausible.
The reason is because Wisconsin will be spent. They will get the shortest rest period of the weekend, going from playing the last game on Friday to playing at noon today. Not to mention, the last game was a defensive slug fest that went into OT, which Wisconsin barely pulled out. I don't think Wisconsin has anything left. Their legs looked dead at the end of that game.
Xavier on the other hand, coasted to a win, playing the earlier game on Friday night. They've got tons of extra rest and should be fresh. I love Xavier in this spot, especially at this price. -170 ML should be more like -250 ML and I think I'm being very conservative. Wisconsin needs an even bigger miracle than against Florida State to pull this one off today.
