Some personal intel...

For no dang reason UAB who is decent was only 2.5 pt favorites. Temple is God awful, so the line "stunk." The line moved in favor of logic. I'd be more mad at Vegas not thr public.

You usually stay away from the smelly lines. It's kind of like Toledo being 2 pt favorites at Miami on Tuesday. I stayed away because the line told me Miami would win or keep it close. Twas a blowout.

Maybe some goofy stuff going on, but I've heard the lines have been "worse" because parlays are at an all time high, so vegas is giving bait numbers because only one leg needs to miss for the house to be profitable.

I don't bet more than 10 bucks a day, but constantly listen to gambling podcasts. I'm happy player props are banned for Ohio schools now as it takes out an incentive to throw games.

...Temple looked quite lethargic in the second half defensively, but we were somehow shooting lights out... probably the best % night we've had this season... hopefully no true 'improprities' occurred... ...but no doubt the line movement was strange for a late season weeknight AAC game with not a lot of ramifications...
