Gophers open as 2.5 point favorites over uw

If we are favored at all, I think I'll jump on a Badgers bet. I hate to do it but I just don't think this will go well.

If?
As the OP states, MN is giving 2.5 points.

Jump!
 






I don't see our offense doing too much against the Badger defense. Our defense can't do anything. They should be able to run against us and their 4th string quarterback will have plenty of open recievers to find I hope we can keep it close.

I don’t understand how we are favored. Wisconsin has been playing better and just beat Illinois last night. Without a defense, you might want to hammer the O/U too as Minnesota will give up 40+.

I don't think you understand how bad the Badgers offense is. They scored 47 points...in a combined 7 B10 games until yesterday. They cannot throw the ball at all with this 4th string, run-first QB - in the Washington game (which they won 13-10), their punter was their leading passer. They couldn't score 40 on a high school team.

That said, their defense has played very well. The O/U line is going to be very low.
 



Might be time to drive down to Diamond Jo, since we still don't have sports betting in MN.

Regardless, I want the axe to stay in Minnesota no matter if it’s 10-7 or 42-41.

I don’t trust the Gophers defense to hold Wisconsin’s 4th string QB (or higher if they play) or punter to less than 40. Wisconsin just scored 27 on a top 25 team. If they did that to them, what chance does Minnesota have? Offensively or defensively?
 



Was looking at Wisconsin's schedule. Holy crap:

November 8No. 23 WashingtonW 13–10
November 15at No. 2 IndianaL 7–31
November 22No. 21 IllinoisW 27–10


My summary:
- two tomato cans, same as us (although they at least did not stoop to playing an FCS team)
- go get their clock cleaned at Alabama
- bad hang over/haven't figured anything out yet against a confident Maryland team early in the year .. at Camp ..... this is easily their "worst" lose of the season, in terms of games they actually should have won or had any business competing in
- then it's five out of six games where they never had any chance
-- though you'd like to think they'd be more competitive against Iowa, again just like us
--- BUT... their loses to Ohio State (granted at home) and at Oregon weren't anywhere near as bad as ours, at least by the scoreboard
--- don't know how we would've fared at Indiana this year, but assume it would've been another bloodbath

- then ... two games (again granted, at home) against supposedly "top 25" teams ... and they won



I'm just saying ... they have a lot losses this year, because they've played a brutal schedule. But they've clearly figured something out.



This has a stinker of a loss to finish the year 6-6, written all over it. Tell me you can't smell it coming a mile away??

Would be more tempting to find like a -9.5 Wisc exotic. Expecting 2019 levels of ugly
