See #10 Michigan @ unranked Washington earlier this season
Washington was a 1.5 pt favorite and ended up winning by 10. Not saying that’ll happen to us but that’s the same logic, cross country against a team that exploits weaknesses really well

Vegas’ goal isn’t to predict the outcome of games. Its goal is to get 50% of the money on Team A and 50% of the money
