    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.

    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

    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

    You either know nothing about college basketball and the ACC or you are trolling.

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