Butler +7.5 and climbing

[Raven66]

Looks like I'll wait for +8.5 this line is climbing, I like it.

DUKE is a lock ML .. point spread wise it just a game the books are playing with you...

[The General]

I can only hope Butler wins handily and somewhat easily.

[hoopster42]

I can only hope Butler wins handily and somewhat easily.

they can win, but nearly impossible for this butler team (who plays slow down ball) to blow out duke

the line is still at 7 at most places

[rm18]

Line will come down a point of two if Butler's injured guys are confirmed in

[Crash]

dukes going to win but i got -355 u gotta be fukin shitin me i cant even bet that~!!!!! thats way to high!!!!!

[hoopster42]

no, the line will not come down more than a half pt. at -7 or -6.5 its a perfect line. duke blew out WVA and the bettors know they're the better team than butler.

[The General]

I don't expect a blowout, but do hope that Butler is in the front for most all of the game and playing some swarming defense which isn't anything new for the team. They just need to be hitting their shots and maybe receive a little home favoring by the referees.

if youre so sure theyre gona win, then put EVERYTHING you own on them. if not, then say "i think" duke is gona win, not the statement that they will win

[The General]

odds makers know they will get plenty action on the Duke by 7+, but bookies themselves will be glad to have/take the points here with the Bulldogs.

[ACoochy]

If it wasnt for the fact that both teams are coming off a 48 hour turnaround id say duke has this by DD but i think butler will stick close if i can get +8-+8.5 then im pulling trigger for butler......BOL everyone

[vanc]

Butler is the play. Duke will play against much better defense than yesterday.

exactly. ppl dont realize Duke gets about 10+ pts at home and got 5+ pts against Baylor. They will be getting ZERO prestige points by the refs in this final............so adjust to that and who Butler has beaten and this line should be Duke -3.5. I honestly believe that. If Mack/Howard both play the +7.5 or more is just unreal

[Vince Lombardi]

I don't think Butler wins but I think they cover. 8 points is alot for two teams so closely matched.

[G's pks]

not a surprise lets not pretend Butler is the better team....refs may dominate this game and try to keep them in it.

[diamond]

Strange, the sharp brock predicted it to go opposite.

[pavyracer]

This is due to the Howard injury announcement.

[Soxsfan9]

Duke will be up and cover the 1H and then let Butler hang around 2H and get a backdoor cover.

[soxwin]

Obviously if you like Butler than you should play this game 15 minutes before gametime when the line will be highest. I think Howard if he plays at all will be a non factor. Mack better have his cramping issues under control. There are many more scenarios for Duke covering, than Butler.

This is like 1979 all over again with the small school playing the big conf powerhouse. I hate Duke with a passion but that doesn't mean they can't make me some money. I got on it early at 6 on pinny though.

good luck to all on their wagers

[JDUB07]

If Butler can knock down 8 threes they will have a chance to win at the end.

[shock11]

ml is crazy high

[emoney]

I like Butler and the points

[jayroy25]

should be hell of game

[sweethook]

dukes way better on the boards = duke by 11-21

[TPowell]

this open at 4.5? If Howard suddenly can't play, a middle at 8.5 or 9 would be solid

[RJ89]

I think it will settle at 8 or 8.5.. Personally I would of set the line at 7, so there still isn't that much value, but I just want to bet on Butler, so I'll bet regardless.. I just think their defense is more fundamentally sound and won't allow Duke's white guys to get easy paths to the basket like WVU did. Duke probably won't shoot so well from 3 this game..

[nbt3428]

Really like duke but if this line keeps going up I'm going to have to bet Butler close to tip

[Tomasitas]

I like Butler to cover

[hhsilver]

Duke will be up and cover the 1H and then let Butler hang around 2H and get a backdoor cover.

or - just as likely - the opposite of that

[Raleigh77]

It is funny because he is fat.

[MartinBlank]

Interesting line movement.

[2PLAYSMAX]

IMO Duke wins by about 10-12 pts.

[2daBank]

im glad we got a shit load of baseball today because i rather just root for Butler and pass on this game
