I know that in basketball, home court advantage counts a lot, so assuming that LSU has a six point advantage by virtue of this game being played in Baton Rouge; how do we match up against them otherwise?
The line for a game is not the oddsmakers' assessment of what the difference in final score will be. It is an assessment of what particular basketball point spread number will draw even action from the combination
of sports bettors. Vegas' oddsmakers are only concerned of trying keep the sports betting action split between each side. Doing so allows Vegas or the sportsbook to make their money off the juice.
