Per Vegas Insider site.
Logically picking the Gophers seems like a smart bet but I probably won't do it because then if they lose I'll be even more disappointed.
Just make it a small enough bet that you won't care much if you lose.
So are the Gophers +3 (underdogs) or -2 (favorites)?

I’m guessing it is relatively uncommon for top 10 teams to be underdogs when playing unranked teams, even on the road.

OSU -54 over Rutgers
Northwestern -40 over UMass
Those are some big spreads.
Could Northwestern score 40 against their cheerleaders?
Iowa will still be ranked. I wonder how much that line will move.
They key is spreading out your money among a lot of smart bets because if you're just betting individual games with as much as you're willing to lose, then you'll lose once, hate your experience, and quit.
You're trying to win 55% of your bets, not 100%.

Iowa -3. Disrespect from Vegas.

Was thinking the same thing. Iowa is still ranked but has to be pretty uncommon for a team ranked in the 20's to be favored over #7. I love it though, just one more log to throw on the fire, keep the players hungry and looking to prove everyone wrong.
Apparently it opened at 2 and jumped to 3. Seems that Vegas expects a let down game for the Gophers.
Holy crap....how bad is UMass? Northwestern's offense has been terrible
????? How does that line make ANY sense?
We are on the road, they have do not lose games back to back, we have not been 9-0 since the middle ages and they want Minnesota people to go nuts and throw money at that. The line will move to even by Thursday.
Is this something people are really saying? They lost back to back earlier this year, and it would be a really strange reason to bet on them anyway. It's saying that a lose makes a team more likely to win the next one. It's like a version of the gamblers fallacy that makes even less sense.
