It's one of your teams. We all have them. Mine is UCLA in a big way in college basketball.
I think the Giants in NFL.
Oklahoma and Georgia in NCAAFB.
It makes zero sense. If I bet these teams every time, I'd be closer to 0'fer than 50-50. You're better off for knowing about it.
But seriously, UTAH can still win this, and if you were to make a play on this game, Utah was the right side prior to tip. Especially considering another one of Arizona's starters had to be benched due to a minor injury, which pushed the kid who is on fire right now - Gabe York - into the starting lineup. He was terrible prior to tonight.
Doubt the books knew about that injury. So, in theory - you were absolutely on the right play more often than not. Especially considering Utah's home ATS record.

It's a real easy thing to understand. UofA kicks butt at hockey & Basketball, ASU rules football. Everything else fade us like we're the Houston Astros or the Tenn. Titans.

Explain?
Be without their second best player, on the road deep into conference, where the opponent is 16-1 at home? Or when their most talented player gets run from the game on some bullshit officiating? Or when Arizona wasn't in the double bonus at all in the 2h to include OT while Utah was in the double bonus 10 minutes into the 2nd?
Let me remind you:
#1 team, lost at home, to a terrible team. So bad, they'd be the second worst team in the PAC. Cuse had the immense help of officiating, especially in the 2h. At home.
How about Florida? At home vs a shit Auburn squad.
If All those teams are "overratted" which teams are just "rated"?
Any of those 3 or WSU will be number 1 next Monday, especially if Cuse beats Duke.

Why didn't you just take the moneyline? It was not that much juice.
I don't get why people bet the small spread instead of moneyline if they're that confident in the pick. Please explain.

Because they dont see the point in laying the extra juice and assume if the ML hits, then they will cover as well... for less.

Yeah, but for a road team it doesn't make sense to me, as the home team will usually scrap and claw until the buzzer to make it a game.

I was at the game for utah vs arizona. Utah choked that game away. Love ridge didn't do shit. Then utah player fouled on 3 and missed all 3 free throws.
