Correct. Maybe odds makers believe all dumpster fires eventually go out?
 

The Gophers have not been blown out at home this season and are coming off a big home win against Wisconsin. The only two losses being to Michigan by 8 and Illinois by 5. The spread makes sense, but I would still take Indiana and the points.

Gophers didn't beat the spread against Wisconsin and lost as home favorites (obviously didn't beat the spread) against both Michigan and Illinois. Gophers are 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 games AND 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 home games. It is interesting to note that the line opened at Indiana -4.5 and got bet to -6.

They didn't beat the spread at home because they gave points. A much, much different animal betting wise to get points at home. The spread is perfect.. -4.5 will attract money but not break the sports book for those that take the points..now is settling into a good number. If it were 7, I would take the points and the bet..maybe 6.5. I'll check back later today. :)
 


Am surprised it's this low. I thought it would be about 9. Would expect this could get up to about 7.5 by game time.

Will be interesting.. The road is a grinder, even for Indiana. While for them, that does not mean losing, it means they often play tight games. They beat Iowa by 4 and only beat NW by 8 on the road. Obviously, they lost to IL and pulled out a tight one against MSU. A couple blowout wins in there as well (Purdue and Ohio St). So I can see why the spread is where its at.. the Gophers have played well at home, despite our thoughts on them as a whole.
 

Line going down: Oladipo listed as "probable"

Shiver me timbers. Money must be coming in on the Gophers. The line has dropped to 5.

And now it mentions that Victor Oladipo is "probable" for tonight's game. I don't recall seeing him on the injury report prior to just now. A potential National Player of the Year not playing certainly might put a different wrinkle on things.
 

Seems like a great game to put money on Indiana. If Indiana blows out the gophers, you get your free money. If the Gophers pull the miraculous upset, you are out some money but who cares about money if the Gophers win.

Not if they beat us by four or less. That would suck even more.
 

We are less of underdogs than NU and Illinois were when they beat us. Hopefully we have the same kind of underdog hunger those teams did.
 

down to 5, money line indicates we have a 1 in 3 chance of winning game
