Vegas is still at -7 -- my guess is they would know if he wasn't playing and the spread would have moved much lower.
IMO, this is a little closer to what the spread would be if the bets were expecting Harris, harder to know but I think around 4 or 5, and if Rourke were 100% which I expect 11 or 12. I think Albin has managed to keep if we have 90% Rourke, extremely hobbled Rourke and Harris, or just Harris a good secret.
This tip sheet leads me to believe that 7 is just an amalgamation of all possibilities - Rourke at 90%, Rourke seriously hampered by injury, or no Rourke at all - and nobody outside the team actually knows anything.

As I have been saying, I agree with "Bowling Green is 6-5, but this is not a very good team."
If we lose tonight I hope Buffalo beats Kent St. I don't have any issue rooting for one school with respect to the other it is just that Buffalo is a much, much better team and Rourke's injury, to me, is just another is a series of lucky breaks that are helping keep a very bad team alive in a weak conference. I'd hate to see this continue and Bowling Green represent the MAC in the bowls as its champion and humiliate the conference by losing by 45 to Boise St., or Tulane, or Troy......I'm not sure any MAC team (Ohio, Toledo, Buffalo) is going to fare well in a matchup like that this year but they'll be a much lesser underdog than BG.
I thought that the Buffalo snow storm was might be another gift from on high to help make that happen, and although I disagree with the MAC's policy on this, I am thankful for it in this case. Buffalo probably wasn't going to lose to Akron and we don't need BG getting any more motivation, help, or breaks.
