Early lines and props have been posted for the Frozen Four, and Minnesota is favored to come out on top by a slim margin over Boston College.
Minnesota wins NCAA title: +150
Boston College wins NCAA title: +175
Union wins NCAA title: +250
North Dakota wins NCAA title: +550
That shouldn't be much of a surprise, for a couple reasons -- first, Minnesota is #1 overall in the Pairwise. Obviously. But as the #1 facing the #15, they have the much easier path to get to the championship game in the first place.
Here are the numbers for the semifinals:
| Team | Spread | Money Line | Over/Under |
| Union | +1.5 (-240) | +135 | Over 5.5 (-120) |
| Boston College | -1.5 (+195) | -165 | Under 5.5 (-110) |
| ------------------- | ------------- | -------------- | --------------------- |
| North Dakota | +1.5 (-180) | +200 | Over 5.5 (-115) |
| Minnesota | -1.5 (+147) | -250 | Under 5.5 (-115) |
A couple notes here:
- I'm kind of surprised BC is favored to beat Union, to be honest. Union has been on fire and looks a lot like BC championship teams of the past -- crazy depth, great goaltending, and entering the tournament on a scorching run.
- BC has a better chance of winning the NCAA tournament than to beat Union by 2? What?
Thoughts on the odds? BC getting too much love? Union not enough?
No Hobey lines yet but, I mean, lol. #HobeyDowd tho
