The Cyclones will be double digit home dogs again on Saturday. They actually opened up as 15.5-point underdogs in two of three Vegas sportsbooks but are now 16.5-point underdogs everywhere. That includes offshore sportsbooks. Bascially, good luck shopping for a line that’s different than 16 and a hook right now.
The point total opened at 63 points in Vegas, and it can be found around the same mark on offshore sportsbooks.
