I have been comparing point spreads with seeds for many years (I use this to guide my bracket picks.) The normal spread for a 12-5 game is about 6. This year the average is 5 because of Middle Tenn is only a 1 point dog as a 12. Princeton is 6.5 now and will likely be bet down to 6 by game time. If I were to bet this, I would put at least some of my money on Princeton on the money (odds) line where I can get +250 (win $250 on a $100 wager) on the theory that if Princeton keeps it close, they have an even chance of pulling the upset.
