The Top Ten most popular bets at Bookmaker so far today:
1. Pacers
2. Raptors
3. Wake Forest
4. Cincinnati
5. Florida State
6. Oklahoma State
7. St. Louis Cardinals (???)
8. Ohio State
9. Weber State
10. Bobcats
The Head-Scratchers
- Raptors: Don't get this one. Marion has the flu, and T-Mac's injury isn't exactly new. Why would the public be big on Toronto? Any squares out there want to explain this one?
- Cardinals: Really? A team in an exhibition baseball game is getting more support than any other basketball teams today? Very bizarre.
- Bobcats: Since when do the Bobcats get any public love?
- Pacers: Big support for the Granger-less Pacers on the road. Even against a bad team like the Kings, this one is very strange. With the line moving toward the Pacers in this spot, I can't wrap my tiny brain around it and it's probably a pass.
The Juicy Fades
- Cincinnati: Looks too awful to pass up. Verdejo's injury for South Florida should have the Bearcats as a much bigger favorite. Unless this line goes up during the afternoon (it's actually headed downward), it's going to be tough to pass up the home dog here.
- Oklahoma State: Victory over an overrated Texas team (I'm pretty sure Durant and Augustin aren't there anymore) appears to have given OK State a boost in the public eye.
- Weber State: Weber State's win-loss record is 20-8 and Montana State is 13-15. There's no way Montana State can beat them. You know, except for the 5-point win Montana State just pulled off at Weber State in January.
- Florida State: Duke is 24-5 and FSU is 22-7, but one of these teams is a double-digit favorite over the other? The public doesn't think that makes sense, but as this line continues to rise, it looks like the books do.
Back later after watching these lines move for a couple of hours.
