    Always a two-way story when a line develops

    Not only do you have to ask yourself the question you already posed, but more importantly dig into WHY Saint Louis is favored

    Single-possession home faves are basically the worst bet long-term you could possibly make.

    If you're taking a home team -1 to -3, more often than not, you're on a loser.

    Exactly. It may sound stupid to encourage laying the juice, but I'd love to see the ATS vs. ML record of unranked home faves this year.

    Have you ever done any statistical research or do you just enjoy talking out your ass?

    Emily, if you want to take home faves of -1 to -3 and report back to me, be my guest. See how you do.

    People are overlooking the fact that Saint Louis is good and they are home. The line is perfect, I was hoping to see Billikens between Pick and -1.5, as I would have played them. Butler has suspiciously been underdogs to some inferior teams this season and they keep winning those games, accounting for their great ATS mar. That is not he case here, STL is legit.

    I'd like to know the % of SBR posters who are either bi-polar or schizophrenic.

    Not a trap.....St. Louis is a solid basketball team, and it's being played in St. Louis.
    Im not surprised by this line.

    I'm not discrediting StL, but they are no Butler.

    This should be a PK at worst.

    Butler is the play for me. Not scared of a saint Louis team playing against Stevens and the bulldogs.

    I would love STL +3 or 3.5 neutral but won't happen. I think it will get closer to Pick by the time A-10 tournament rolls around.
