Before You Bet

  • Action was balanced on this game per the AcePerHead.com odds board.
  • The line originally opened at -4 before jumping to -5 with little in the way of any line move outside of an occasional half point rise to 5.5.
  • The total is 176 and this is where we have witnessed the most fluidity with a number that's moved from 174 to 176.
  • The total has gone a bit haywire. It opened at 173.5 and now sits at 175.5. That’s basically saying both of these teams will score in or near the 90-point range - The Action Network
