2 point underdog to Iowa on the road this weekend.
I don't have anything against Minnesota, and hope they do well. But, they will now have to learn how to play as the "hunted" and not the "hunter!"....totally different mindset.

We'll see how they do and I'm sure the committee will want that question answered.

That's because Iowa is going to beat them this weekend.

Home field is usually worth 3. They just had an emotional win. Penny state wasn’t as good as advertised. Vegas wants to see more evidence before dropping a bigger line on them.

Vegas doesn't think bettors trust Minnesota yet so that's a nice opening line but Minn is going to smoke Iowa

They aren’t great but if they were a fraud Penn St would have beat them like a drum.

Vegas could care less about being impressed with Minny. They care about winning money.

Vegas thinks the general public isn’t impressed with the Gophers, hence the line they came out with.

And then they beat Penn St.

By the transitive property Penn St is equal to or worse than Georgia St, South Dakota St and Fresno St.

transitive property means nothing. sure they beat penn state but that’s legitimately their only quality win. they are in the right spot for now

Minnesota will beat Iowa and Wisconsin, and I don’t doubt they will put up a game against OSU in the title if they don’t actually win that too.

Go look up pj flecks motivational tactics. His row the boat mantra is more than a kitschy saying. It’s very literally a way of life and from what I saw Saturday, his team believes it.

They are really talented at the WR position and their QB is accurate. They have a fantastic secondary and a stout all around defense. They are disciplined and efficient. This is a football team that would beat half of the top 5.

PJ fleck will win a national title at Minnesota before he leaves, if he even does leave anytime within the next 10 years.

I’m staying away but if I was betting on this one I would take Iowa and the points...Minnesota is riding high right now and Iowa, for the Big 10 or whatever they call themselves now, isn’t a slouch and have a history of knocking teams off that high horse after a big win.

How can you have the arrogance to talk shite about a conference when you aren’t even sure of the conference name?

Back in my gambling days I used to have a good theory:

If a team wins a game big enough for their fans to storm the field after, bet against them the next week. It’s hard to come back down from that emotional high for teams that haven’t been there before.


But I haven’t been a gambling man for a long time now, so take it for what it’s worth.

Wasn’t talking shite about the conference just wasn’t 100% sure what they called themselves now I think it’s just BiG but I will more than likely always refer to them as the Big 10 because that’s what I grew up on....my comment was on kids playing football that aren’t used to being anywhere close to this situation vs kids that have a history of upsetting teams after they’ve had an emotional win the week before...I watched the game Minnesota dominated Penn State it’s extremely likely they walk in thinking they dominate Iowa while Iowa has nothing to play for but ruining their plans...again I’m staying away from this one betting wise but if I had to bet I’d take Iowa +2.... you should go back and take some composition classes to help with your reading comprehension.

Actually, it's the exact opposite.

As is evidence by this thread, with every single poster saying Minnesota will smoke Iowa, the general public will be all over the undefeated top ten team coming off a huge upset getting 3 points.

But if you believe the co tary and that Minnesota will truly be the sharp side, then go balls deep on the ML.
