Are we an underdog or favorite?

[MNSpaniel]

I think you can throw the records out a bit. If you can categorize games into "quality losses" ... we don't have any. However, Purdue could have easily beaten Notre Dame and Ohio State. I've seen some writers saying the Gophs should be favored to win this game. I certainly hope they are right in their predictions but if Purdue brings it like they did against ND or Ohio State we are in trouble again.

3 point underdogs in Vegas.

Are you going to wager another $100?

Nope, I did it that one time versus Syracuse, won, took my money and ran, told myself quit while ahead.

Only 3 point underdogs? That is not too bad. In all honesty, I'm not sure what vegas sees that I don't. I guess we have been pretty solid playing in the bank this year. 4-1 record with one seven-point loss to a good Northwestern team in a game riddled with (gopher) errors.

Purdue should be the favorite - they lost to two top ten teams but were in the games, in fact, outplayed Ohio State for 59 minutes and knocked out Braxton Miller. They are further along in their program with Hope than we are with Kill. They should win by 10 or more - the home field notwithstanding. In other words, we have to upset them!

Now It's 2 or 2.5

It started at 6 now it's 2 or 2.5. Hope that's a good sign!

This is where Vegas intervenes and swings the money one way or another to balance dollars bet. Vegas makes their money on the 5% or 10% it costs to place the bet.

right now, MN is +2 -110. That means if you want MN at +2, you have to bet 110 to win 100. If ya win, you get all 210 back, but if you lose, you are out 110.
