Weekend Las Vegas Lines (Feb 28-Mar 3)

Draftkings is taking bets for this weekend's games. I believe this is the first time that any of the big sports books has opened up lines for regular season college lacrosse. Should be interesting. So, what do you like? My favorite is Maryland to cover 4.5 against HPU. What do you got?

Here are the lines:
Duke (-6.5) v. RMU - over/under at 23.5
Mercer (+2.5) v. Bucknell - over/under at 21.5
Maryland (-4.5) v. High Point - over/under at 25.5
Ohio State (-6.5) v. Detroit Mercy - over/under at 22.5
JHU (-5.5) v. Jacksonville - over/under at 21.5
Delaware (-8.5) v. NJIT - over/under at 21.5
Navy (-6.5) v. MSM - over/under at 19.5
Penn State (-7.5) v Lafayette - over/under at 23.5
Rutgers (-7.5) v. LIU - over/under at 25.5
Hofstra (-4.5) v. Merrimack - over/under at 23.5
Holy Cross (+2.5) v. Providence - over/under at 20.5
Utah (+4.5) v. Denver - over/under at 22.5
Michigan (-7.5) v. Bellarmine - over/under at 21.5

I personally like these two games,

Mercer (+2.5) v. Bucknell - over/under at 21.5
Maryland (-4.5) v. High Point - over/under at 25.5

Am I a degenerate if I want to see lines for scrimmages too?

Agreed on Mercer to cover.

Baby steps…

Ohio State over DM looks like easy money

Absolutely not, Ffg.

You’re a degenerate for a whole host of other reasons.

Could be worse, could be in the UK like me where DraftKings only does fantasy and not sports betting so you still can’t bet on college lacrosse

Like Jax & the points. Who scares you playin for Hopkins ? No one!

duke to beat the spread - romo loses their best two players and their coach, duke is stacked

msm to cover - sounds like msm had solid scrimmages, navy was inconsistent. 7 goals is a big margin

merrimack to cover - hofstra loses a ton. would put a little on merrimack moneyline too if only draft kings would let ny residents bet

Had a friend in college who bet on Ivy basketball…

I was thinking the same thing unless it’s crazy sloppy weather or the new RoMo coach turns it into a rock fight.

I am with you on the Navy game....I could see this as a bad trap game for Navy. It was an ugly one last year. MSM has been in some tough close games the past few years. It may come down to how loud KG yells.

Bayonne native, Girth Lacrosse, just signed an NIL with DraphtQueens.

Or, is that just crossing the line, a bit too far and the n$aa will put the ole "non profit" foot down. Henry Hill and Lenny Bias have a thing or two to say about college sports and gambling. Amazed that this is still legal. betting on "amatuer" sports. bizzaro world.

who does the "line", someone with actual lacrosse knowledge ? college lacrosse betting have a history website ?

Everyone Pick Five Games with Spreads
Here's my 5
Maryland-Loaded
Holy Cross-Little Upset but should be close
Delaware-Should be up 10 by Half, a Terrible first game for them. Will drop in polls
Rutgers-See Maryland
The Mount- Line too high. Navy lost a lot of talent. Mount plays tough.

Picking college lacrosse early is to Damm easy. If I bet a Benjamin on each would have be up 290. if I parlayed be down 110. Now if I just took money line on the Mount, well that’s another nice pay day.

Best to Worse
Duke
Maryland
OSU
Mount St. Marys- played a tight scrimmage and experienced team
Rutgers

Rutgers loses their entire attack and has no FOGO... why all the love? LIU isn't a doormat and had a goalie right under 60% last year

Duke (-6.5)
LIU (+7.5)
Mercer (+2.5)
Maryland (-4.5)
MSM (+6.5)


***And now Sprock is out for the year

Because I am bored:
Take the money line on HPU
Take the money line on Jax
Take the under on Mich / Bell
