Vanderbilt was coming in as a mere -1 favorite against Richmond despite being a number 5 seed vs. Richmond as a number 12 seed.  Gambling911.com advised prior to the official posted line to bet on Richmond as the better team in this contest.  We expected the oddsmakers might place a pretty heavy line on this game favoring Vanderbilt, but that didn’t happen. 

St. John’s we felt would open at -5.  Instead, they open at -2. 

We anticipated BYU to open as a -14 favorite but warned that the spread would likely be reduced due to Brandon Davies not playing.  They’ve gone 3-2 without him.  It’s no surprise the oddsmakers at betED.com have slashed the line in half from where we anticipated it to open. 

Below are all your March Madness 2011 betting odds for the Denver First Round games.
