Why.....??.....?? Why

[CappinTerp]

C.Mich is playing Green Bay, the for this game is a whopping 171! !....But Chippewas are ranked 243 rd for offensive FG % and GB is ranked 288 th !!! Yes, both teams play at a fast tempo....but 171 points are very,very high for a College Basketball game. Prob. a pass.....but put a gun to head,I would be the over,no soft lines or a free lunch in Vegas.

I am going to bet the Old Dom / Rhode Island game to go UNDER 120 points...................gl

If anyone out there can put a spin on that 171 total, I'am all ears!

Well they played 2 weeks ago and scored 166...so CMU at home play better. Line was 174.5 in last game.

Well for starters, it opened at 165/6. It has moved up all day. These two played 10 days ago to a 166 total (under the 174.5 line). That game had 84 possesssions, which is a lot, but yeah the 170 seems a little high. That said, I see no reason to play the under. (I actually played the under in the first game and it was nerve wracking.)

[HeeluvaGuy]

Lol. What Memento said.

[CappinTerp]

Yea, you guys are right,past history+ a lot of possessions= a spot on price, was tempted on the over when it was 168.5,but didn't have the time to cap it ,in a manor which I like to do...................................... .BOL guys!!!

Did a little more digging...C. MICH @ home avg.99.2 points per game......just saw a 173 print!

Two of those were non-D-I. They're averaging 86.5 against D-I schools at home. I watched the William & Mary game. The scoring was insane.

I just grabbed a small play at U 171.5 @ +116 (Pinny). At the price there should be some value...

174 now on 5Dimes

Thanks for the info HG, I am going to pass on this one..........but the more info we all share helps everyone !!

Just a small play...A OK,right thing to do. FYI - The way I see it,when it comes to a singular game, value does not exist! Cheep things are not cheep and expensive things are not expensive,they are priced like that for a reason.......Also, I hope you win your bet....BOL.

Yep. That's the idea.

FWIW, teamrankings.com uses only D-I stats. Doesn't matter as much later in the season, but some numbers can be a bit skewed with the early slate of cupcakes.

Looks like both plays a winner....did not play the C.MICH over,but know many did,good job. RI game is 45-36 with 1:30 to go,the under should come in also.
