#39 on the road at #78.What&#x27;s the issue? Looks like a fair line.

liontri · Answer

Where did you get those numbers, my man?

JFen31 · Answer

Those are the Vegas power ratings. They pull their numbers directly from KenPom.com.Their numbers often differ quite a bit from the poll numbers you see on ESPN.It&#x27;s an excellent resource and one everyone should use.

They were banged up when they lost to UMass two games ago. Only guy questionable tonite is Kuran Iverson 10ppg and 7rpg. He&#x27;s been battling a concussion and had missed last three games.

Am scared too, line looks painfully easy. Placed 1u so far to get -1.5.Really wanted to make this a 3u play but something seems fishy here.

justlol · Answer

I think Dayton is a fine bet for 1u.Sure history does not look good for us, but Dayton is the better team, so we hope this year things change.Feel bad for anyone going heavy on Dayton today.

PapaShango · Answer

That just means money came in on URI, not sure why it has to be "smart money."  Please explain that logic.

Their numbers are typically very close. They use similar methodology, but I don&#x27;t know the specifics of where they differ.I understand this makes me a di*k, but I&#x27;m exhausted from reading here (and elsewhere) that lines are "traps." This game tonight is an excellent example of how Vegas/KenPom/Sagarin use an entirely different set of criteria than what the public is fed by ESPN and other media. In other words, when someone says "Dayton is ranked 19th," well, OK, yes, they&#x27;e ranked 19th in the media polls. But Vegas doesn&#x27;t view them as the 19th ranked team. Rather, they&#x27;re somewhere between #35 and #40. Rhode Island is somewhere around #75-#80. Tonight&#x27;s line is Dayton -1.5/-2. On a neutral floor, this line would be Dayton -5.5/-6. Would anyone find that to be a "trap" line? I doubt it.If the game was in Dayton, the line would be -9.5/-10. Would the masses be screaming about a "trap" line? Again, no. Let&#x27;s play a game:Is this a trap?Rhode Island vs. Dayton (neutral floor)Line: Dayton -6Is this a trap?Rhode Island @ DaytonLine: Dayton -10Is this a trap?Dayton @ Rhode Island?Line: Dayton -2

Dude at top of Survivor board  (18) has Dayton tonight, but all but his very first pick has been NBA, good luck to him. Risky play , I&#x27;m leaning RI though. As mentioned, ranked road faves have had difficulty and Dayton will have their hands full tonight.
