as if there may be many who are - starting with the oddsmakers. 13 1/2? 14? That's a lot of points there.

The oddsmakers are overlooking this game? Really?

First, this is what oddsmakers do. They don't have an emotional investment in any of these games. That's why they are very good at what they do.

Secondly, the oddsmakers didn't make the line 13 1/2. They made the line 10. The subsequent betting trends made the line 13.
