Gophers Open @ +7

[spermophilus]

Probably about right. Though I was thinking +5ish.

Let’s go!!!

Perfect. Means we’re -10 with the home field. I like that spread

Wisconsin would be -10 if they played at home? I guess he's a Badger fan?

we’re better being the underdog. The more the better. Figure it out.

We're better at being the underdog to a point. We were about 2.5 or 3.0 point underdogs to Purdue and Colorado and about a 4 point underdog to Nebraska and won all of those. But, we were a 14 point underdog to Ohio State and about a 5 point underdog to Iowa and didn't win either of those.

If we pull this off it will be the 1st time post-Metrodome the Gophers will parade The Axe on their home field...last time was 2003 with Rhys Lloyd's game-sealing FG. That was fun...

Must be using Wisconsin math…

-7 in Minnesota
-10.5 neutral field
-14 in madison

Crazy enough this game is the longest (Vegas) odds of the three things we need to happen this week.

Gophers +7
Purdue -15
Nebraska EVEN

This is controlling your own destiny -- Gopher Style

Sagarin has WI at 86 with a SOS of 8
MN at 78 with a SOS of 58
IA at 82 with a SOS of 40
NE is 75 with a SOS of 3!!
So MN is +8
NE is +7.
That is before the $$$ start coming in and the betting sites adjust the spread if need be.
NE was about + 10 for the WI game which is close to the WI margin of victory.

I’d feel better if it was +14.5

you always get 3 for home field.
