11/11 opening night of college basketball has some solid games on the slate. Some years there's only a few lines since most would be too high. This year there's good games, but I can't find early lines anywhere yet. Let me know if you find any.

If NCAAB capping is a science, early season is always more of an art. No stats available yet for so many freshmen. With that being said, let's take a stab at opening day spreads:

Indiana - Kansas in Hawaii
I got KU as a pretty decent favorite, giving between 8-12. KU hasn't figured out their big men rotation yet, but have the best backcourt in college basketball to start the season. I watched IU's exhibition the other day vs Hope college, and Thomas Bryant still looks like a freshman down low. He's physically dominant, but hadn't progressed his game or decision making. Blackmon looks like an older, better leader, but he's not a true PG and that'll hurt the Hoosiers. If IU doesn't knock down 3s, Jayhawks will run away with it.

Arizona - MSU in Hawaii
The big question mark is Allonzo Trier. If he plays, I see Zona as a 4 point favorite. If he doesn't, flip it and MSU is a 2-4 point favorite. AZ slew of 7footers will give a small MSU lineup trouble, but I think Trier really brings that team together - without them they'll struggle.

Kentucky vs Stephen F Austin
Wondering if this line will be affected by the recency bias of SFA in the last couple NCAA Tournaments - especially their success last March. If so, I'd hammer UK -25 or so. SFA will spend a season or two rebuilding from their past 4 years of success, now without their coach Brad Underwood (now Oklahoma State head coach) or star player Walkup (graduated).

What you think? What else you guys got?

If you can't put out a line yourself, you shouldn't be betting on one someone else put out

Sfa is a tough ask for young ball handlers out the gate

Lol, okay.

Kentucky is a tough ask for a young team (7 newcomers) without their program's best player ever (2x conf POY) and head coach.

Not sure I understand either post. Just a bunch of random jibberish.

Don't come in here with all this hate trying to 1 up me by speaking jibberish. Lets have an actual conversation.

So your opinion is having a new coach and losing their best player will have no effect on this season's SFA team? Where do you think the line should be? Just trying to understand what your opinion is, if you actually have one, or if you're just drunk posting.

[BORG]

I am interested in seeing the line on this game. I think SFA can keep it a single digit game.

[xdodger19]

San Diego vs San Diego St will be played on a neutral court
apparently at Viejas casino which is about 25 minutes east of San Diego

Harvard vs Stanford will be played in China

What's up DOM. Found 4-5 games posted early lines. Haven't gotten home from work but Kansas -6.5 looks amazing

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-...dds/las-vegas/

[LT Profits]

You can get Arizona +3.5 -120 right now at 5 Dimes. Could set up middle of other offshores open MSU -1.5.

[stackz125]

Pinny opened Kansas as -5.5...
Whatever that means

No worries KRIT, myself & the other hoops heads here will help you through the first month.

Let's make some moneyyyy!

[jjgold]

Maybe Kansas the first game they're always a fast starting team

[TPowell]

I usually go pretty light in ncaab early, i dive in once conference play starts.

on a side note, just ordered a 6-game plan to watch markelle fultz play.

Don't drive yourself nuts over early LM. I probably won't bet until Friday morning.

Interesting, just says VI consensus on Vegas Insider.

why? These openers are a license to print money. Linemakers are clueless for 2-3 weeks

Problem with "consensus" is CG is only Vegas book with lines out that I see. So consensus of one.

[DOM_Toretto]

I only use 1 online book and 1 local. For cbb, lines usually never posted more than a day ahead of time.

that sucks man

[DOM_Toretto]

that sucks man

Sometimes, maybe. But I prefer it this way for a few reasons.

[GHSCREW]

Of course lines come out when I'm at work....

[Louisvillekid1]

Let's get em this year guys!

[JRoZe410]

Are 5Dimes college lines not out yet?

[deuceswild]

Yeah with ya. I use 2 books for great reasons myself.... William Hill is probably the best lines for dogs. Otherwise it's terrible , those of you that live in Vegas know what I mean. South Point was last renegade Sportsbook in Vegas. Weak on in game betting and prop bets if that's your thing.

Lines are not out offshore yet, I guess it will be same overnight release time tonight as it is throughout the season.

[TPowell]

Will be dropping money in BetOnline now. Didn't realize they would be out this soon
