Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2023 1:42 pm
Ohio State (-5.5) vs. Air Force
Rutgers (-7.5) vs. Marist
Maryland (-7.5) vs. Richmond
Syracuse (-2.5) vs. Vermont
Denver (-2.5) vs. Utah
Jacksonville (-1.5) vs. Johns Hopkins
Duke (-10.5) vs. Bellarmine
Bucknell (-5.5) vs. Mercer
I found it interesting that inside lacrosse included the gambling lines, but given the uptick in sports gambling I guess it makes sense. I thought a few of the lines looked intriguing and wanted to get some other thoughts.
1. Richmond +7.5 against a Maryland team that needs to figure out an offensive identity sounds like a decent value.
2. I have always been a Syracuse (-2.5) fan so I am biased, but I think they could come out flying and bury a decent Vermont team.
3. Duke (-10.5) notoriously starts slow in February, I don't know if they've ever played Bellarmine, but 10.5 goals is a lot for the first game of the year.
4. Rutgers (-7.5) returns a lot, but again 8 goals is a lot to win by in an early February game.
5. Denver - Utah could be a close game, Denver will need a brand new offense against a Utah team that played well last year, I like Utah there.
6. Ohio State (-5.5) I think beats up on Air Force and ends up winning 13-5 or so.
Curious to hear what people think about the games, gambling, spreads, etc.
