Great game today! question is...

[areshound]

My cousin is the homer iu fan type and wants 14 points on our matchup, I said no because obviously its at their place. Whats everyones thoughts on a respectable spread on the game? If you're into winning a case of beer that is, like I am.

If IU loses to MD, I would take the bet. They will be mailing it in the last 2 games.

I don't think they will pack it in for the rivalry game tho. That may very well be the only game they care about f the year.

 

[BoilerinLouisville]

I’d bet up to 17; it will end up being more. Their terrible

 

[areshound]

I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to a field goal as much as I hate to say it

No bet. Rivalry games are weird. (Note: I'm not much of a risk taker, so this is the conservative angle)

the line should be around 10 in favor of Purdue.

It's a rivalry game, so . . . pick 'em.

That will be their bowl game

Obviously the next 2 weeks' results will affect the lines going forward. But my initial guess on the lines for the rest of the year are:

-5.5 @Minnesota
-2.5 vs Wisconsin
-10 vs Indiana

Good guesses. With that Minn effort yesterday we may end up being a more than TD road favorite but Minn seems to be a much better team at home

All pride bets have to be straight up. Even during our lowest times I went straight up..... and lost. No mercy.

I guess I was a little off! -12.5 @ Minny

Meanwhile a 2-win Nebraska team is an 18-point favorite. Also Michigan is -39 at Rutgers. I didn't see the over/under yet but there's an argument for it being the same!

 

[Purdue 95]

Wait and see what happens in their game against Maryland. Keep in mind bowl eligibility. The B1G wants as many bowl eligible teams as possible. We’ll likely have bowl eligibility in the bag going into the Bucket Game.

Rivalry games can be crazy, and this one is at their place. I wouldn’t want a close game to be put into the hands of a B1G officiating crew with IU bowl eligibility on the line.

We should beat them handily, but crazier things have happened.

Wow I was closer to your guess since it is on the road! Iowa at -10 against Northwestern. Not sure I agree with that. I think (hope) Iowa wins, but by 10, idk.

You can’t do point spreads in a bet like that! What is he gonna say if they beat the spread: “we covered Purdue sucks”? If you’re a fan you bet straight up.

See I got lucky. I made my bet when IU was 3-0 and we were 0-3 so I got Purdue straight up. I can’t wait for my free lunch.
