FWIW, we're a 1 point favorite in early Las Vegas Lines

only three sites show any spreads at all, but tonight it was Minnesota -1 versus Xavier.

Gophers opened as a "pick 'em" per USA Today's summary of lines.
 

Crazy. Vegas loves Goldy this year.
 

If we beat Xavier, the game against Pittsburgh would likely open as a virtual pick'em as well.
 

According to the Sagarin predictor values, Xavier is #19 with a value of 86.62, and Minnesota is #21 with a value of 86.52. A virtual pick'em on both fronts.
 

I'm laying on Xavier then. They are a good buy at even money. IMO, too athletic for the Gophs. Hope I am wrong, but Xavier looks like a possible sweet 16 team.

Also, Andy Katz thinks the Gophs win the game...

That's because he thinks we're playing a (insert-best player)-Less Xavier team :D
