UNLV/Illinois PICK Tomorrow, Discuss

[Cougar Bait]

I think the line is about right. I think UNLV has played a tougher schedule and is possibly the better team. However with home court I think this one will be close. Would love to hear some thoughts on this one.

Game is @ United Center.

Neutral

[No coincidences]

Rebs.

[HoulihansTX]

I see no advantage either way.

This line should not budge, as power ratings make this a Pk on a nuetral/Illinois -1@Home

[flyingillini]

illini all the way

pk on neutral; -1 at home? That makes no sense. If it's pk on neutral floor it would be -4 or -5 at home either way.

UC is probably not quite neutral, crowd will favor Illinois, but certainly not a home game.

I thought UNLV would be favored.

not touching this game ... could go either way.

I understand what you are saying, but the power ratings I use rate teams differently on the road vs home.

So a team may have higher road power rating than Home PR.

UNLV 109.5(Away PR) vs Illini 110.5(Home PR)
UNLV 105.5(Overall PR) vs Illini 106(Overall PR) Neutral


A conventional PR gives a team one rating, and points are added/subtracted with user input according to the situation. The PR I use gives each team 3 different rating. Away/home, and overall which is an average of Hm/Aw.

Well, I don't know what PR you use, but if the result is that you think Illinois' home floor would only be worth one point vs. a neutral floor, then you need to fix your ratings, cuz that ain't right.

illinois is the overrated one here trust me

[CollegeOverUnder]

Im an Illini homer but I see no play on this game what so ever. This game can go either way and the line is set properly. Their is no value in this game IMO.

[paranoyd androyd]

there's some value in the over imo gl

[bookie]

Remember Illinois crushed UNLV in the tournament last year. The crushers are all gone, but as the more veteran team UNLV figures to have an edge playing against these uniforms.

[Cougar Bait]

LOL at the it's not a home game because its being played at the UC. Let me know what the crowd sounds like at tip.

[thebestthereis]

Is Kendall Gill playing?

[Cougar Bait]

Possibly with himself.
