i was counting on taking the vegas line unless there is some list of predictions published by the AP or USA today closer to the games.
|
several issues:
1. there are multiple Vegas lines (e.g., Stardust, Mirage, etc.)... which one will be used, and when will it be used (see item #3)?
2. some of the lines are either off the board or haven't been set (e.g., Marshall-Cincinnati, UConn-Toledo).
3. the closer you get to game-time, the more the lines tend to move. a team that is currently listed as the favorite may suddenly become the underdog, or vice-versa (e.g., Okie St. is currently -1.5 over Ohio St.; by game-time, the Buckeyes will likely be favored). how would these types of situations be scored?
4. what's the deadline for making picks?
