Their offense just isn't strong enough to put up more than 30 on us. No way we score less than 3 TD's. I'm not saying it's impossible for us to get smashed, just that I'm confident enough to put my money where my mouth is.

My thought's exactly. I've got my poker bank up over $1200 so I'm keeping at least 300-400 of that for a small wager on that game.

It wouldn't shock me in the least if we turn up as 11 point dogs. Remember they'll get a FG for home field advantage, a TD for being a Big 10 team wouldn't surprise me at all.

Good points, but I still think I'd be shocked if we were more than 7 or 8 point dogs, tops. The Purdue win was viewed as an aberration, OSU was thought to be an immovable object, and we were breaking in a sophomore QB against Oklahoma. If I were a betting man, I'd take ANY points they want to give BG in Madison as gravy.

I think it will be between 5-7 points. I don't think there is anyway we are double digit underdog to a team expected to be in the middle of Big Ten pack. Purdue, OSU, and OU were talking about conference and national championships when we played them.

it was 11 for Purdue, 17 for OSU, and it was 35 for OU on the bet cards that i play here. of course i took BG on all of those games... my record last year in MAC games was unbelievably good against the spread... something like 19-2 i think...only problem is i have to pick 10 games per card (i play 2 cards) and usually there is only 1-3 MAC games to choose from per week... they always have the Ball St game since im not far from Munice, and then usually another big MAC game thats happening that week, anyway my guess is 6pt dogs at the dub (wisc), i seem to know a lot about spreads and football teams for a kid so if you need some advice or want to bounce some ideas around just message me!
