DOGS MOST LIKELY TO HANG INSIDE THE NUMBER
These are NOT live dogs — they simply have the best chance to stay within the spread.
Iowa
Offense keeps them inside numbers even when they lose.
Hawai‘i
Slow pace + Arkansas volatility = margin compression.
Texas A&M
Rebounding keeps them in games even when out‑executed.
Ohio State
If TCU’s shooting dips, OSU can grind their way to a close loss.
Utah State
They can shoot well enough to avoid getting blown out.
Missouri
Miami’s volatility gives Missouri a chance to stay inside the number.
Santa Clara
Kentucky’s pace creates both blowouts and near‑miss covers.
VCU
UNC can be sloppy enough to let VCU hang around for stretches. |
