The Betting Numbers
This line has done very little. The Ducks opened most places as a -3.5-point favorite and that is the current number at most shops a week prior to the game. The juice opened -110 and fell to as much as +100 but failed to cross over enough to change the number. The total has gone down to 50.5 from its opening of 51.5.
