From this morning’s Herald Brief

Nov 6 · sample verdicts

NBA · Celtics spread
Celtics at Hornets
4 of 6 on Celtics
−8.5to −9.5 down
Agrees with the majority · Clutch
The analysts’ main reason holds up: Boston’s spacing is the matchup Charlotte’s switching defense has struggled with all season.
NCAAF · Arizona spread
TCU at Arizona
7 of 9 on Arizona
−9.5to −7.0 up
Toss-up, stay away · Audible
The case rests on TCU’s missing starters, but Arizona’s own injury report is unsettled, so the edge is too thin to trust.
