Opening Line: Providence -2.5 at Boston College 12/5/14
The line opened with Providence as a 2.5 point road favorite at Boston College. Kenpom.com has Providence winning the game by 2, 65-63.
There has already been some movement on that line with most Vegas establishments moving the line up to Providence -4.5 at the writing of this post. That same trend is holding firm at the Offshore books as well. Providence has only played 1 other road game which was their 20 point loss at Kentucky so there isn’t much in the way of betting trends for the 2014-15 season for the Friars when they are on the road.
I’ll update this post as the line continues to move.

Opening Line: Providence +4.5 vs. Notre Dame 11/23/14
The line opened with Providence as a 4.5 point underdog against Notre Dame. Kenpom.com has Providence winning the game by 1, 66-65.
Notre Dame beat UMass 81-68 on Saturday in the game right before Providence’s win over Florida State. Despite this bracket not being a traditional advance and play the winner bracket the two winners from Saturday will square off.

Opening Line: Providence +2.5 vs. Florida State 11/22/14
The line opened with Providence as a 2.5 point underdog against Florida State. Kenpom.com has Providence winning the game by 1, 72-71.
Providence’s season opener against Albany had a late line of PC -14 and O/U 140. Providence won by 4 and the total was well under the 140 number at 124. The Friars’ second game of the season opened with a line of PC -21.5 and O/U of 137. Providence won the game by 21 and total again came well under the number at 111. So the mini-trend that has started off this season is the Friars are 0-2 ATS (some place might have had the Binghamton line at -21 so a push is possible) and they are 2 for 2 on the under hitting.
I’m not sure where the O/U will open for this one but I get the sense that this game may be a rock fight and end up with both teams in the 60’s.
Check back here for updates to the lines as they move.
UPDATE 5:39pm: Line has moved to PC +1.5 and the moneyline has been taken off the board. Early money coming in on the Friars?
