Records don't matter in setting CBB lines.

Oddsmakers rely exclusively on power rankings sites (KenPom, Sagarin, et al.) in setting lines. KenPom has GMU at 170 and JMU at 204. 

Mason is the better team and is at home. Figure 2-3 points for being the slightly better team and 3/3.5 points for home court. 

Line is exactly where it should be.

UCF could have A-Rod at QB and they'd be getting points....can you imagine how many points they would give up if "They Got Bama?"

Thanks for the input but "squares" like me, look at the record.  Hence my name.  an_drunksick  I also noticed nobody else bringing up this game so I just wanted to give it a little attention.. thumbs_up

I thought it was an odd line too, but records have nothing to do with anything.  I took JMU +6.  I think the Dukes look a little under-valued.
