Is anyone else surprised....

...that we are a 5.5pt FAVORITE tonight vs. Wisconsin?? I figured we'd be a 1 or 2 point dog, certainly not a 5.5 point favorite.

What does Vegas know? Well, probably nothing, as they had us a 10pt favorite over Iowa and a 9.5pt favorite over Illinois.

Very much so, thought at best it would be a pick 'em.

Gophers probably need to stick a fork in the Badgers by the 3-minute mark because if it comes down to a one- or two-possession game, that likely works in the Badgers' favor.

Not sure why anyone would ever bet on a rivalry game.
