Default Re: 2/13 VDay Special - Penn v Princeton - War at the Palestra

[ QUOTE ]
I think the spread is correct at -13, and keep in mind that it's a bit difficult to cover a 13 point spread in a game where there should be so few possessions per team.

1) That's factored in already.
2) That was true last year when Princeton was better and lost by 19.
3) Last time they were a solid dog - 7.5pts they lost by 38.
Penn averages 78 and Tigers 51, so Vegas seems to have priced that correctly if only by cutting it in half.

Having said all that Tigers could come out and shoot the lights out. Who knows? That's why it's called gambling.
