With an opening spread of only 6, what am I missing here?  confused  Seems like the square/public play would be to take the Shockers but the sharp in me tells me to take the points. an_drunksick Any constructive advice, opinion is greatly appreciated... paint_help Thanks in advance. thumbs_up

Using Sagarin ratings the line looks spot on...doesn't mean Wichita State won't shock em but the line looks good. Temple is also 1-3 against top 25 and 3-4 against top 50 with a SOS of 10 while playing at home. Smells like a trap. Just my 2 cents.

Leaning Temple here. Don't trust the Shockers, extremely overrated team.

Let me know which side you take and I'll bet the opposite.

i made a thread a few days ago about Wichita State - they are SUPREMELY OVERRATED. Cannot defend to save their lives. Fade, fade, and fade again.
