The Debate
A great CBB team vs. a horrible NBA team …
Vegas says … 76ers would be favored by 16 points over Kentucky
(assuming game is played under NBA rules)
If college rules, spread would decrease to only -10!
(source of numbers is consensus from bettors and bookmakers)
One common comment from contributors: the spread would decrease as the CBB season progresses and the Kentucky team gains more experience together.
Kentucky was initially paying a jumbo 50/1 to go undefeated and win the Title.
After Kentucky’s especially strong start to the season, the payoff is all the way down to only +550 (offered at William Hill)
