That's because a team that's up by 15-20 points should pull their starters and let the others close out the game. If I was a better I would take the points, especially a couple of days ago when it was -23. BU don't give a hang about the spread.When favored by more than 20 points in the 1vs16 seed game, the #1 seed is 21-26 against the spread in the most recent years. Take that as you will.
