Leaning NU -7, anyone else?

Codebreaker · Dec 31, 2018

I've got the under, which is pretty low 43.5. Neither team is going to beat themselves with penalties, TO's or bad technique. Both very well coached, very sound fundamentals. Had Utah been a 7 point dog I would be on them. But since NU is the dog here by 7 I think that is the play. NU definitely plays in a far better league/schedule. Neither team will surprise anyone tonight with failing to show up an play 100%.

NU +7

Because they have been a great dog, well coached, and battle-tested to the max. Yes, they don't have the athletes to stand up to OSU. Utah is not OSU. Looking forward to a 60 min old school war. Neither team will quit, sound fundamentals and technique on display tonight.

Opps I know +7, any edit button?

I think you gotta take 'em on an alternate spread now w-thumbs!^

Agree NW + 7.
Against a soft Pac 12 team (0-4 ATS pending Oregon), NW is tough, battle tested, and scrappy, better SOS and decent defense, getting a TD against a team with limited offense.
The Utah QB is back after a long injury recovery period but not sure he will perform at top level.

I don't know, Utah is probably one of the non soft Pac 12 teams. If we're going to talk about conferences and the Pac 12 being bad so far in bowls (which I don't tend to subscribe to) then we need to talk about Purdue who beat the Big 10 Champs by 30 points losing by 49 to Auburn and Michigan getting routed by an average at best Florida team.

"Average at best" Florida team? Hilarious!
They were ranked # 10 in the land by the NCAA playoff rankings, and AP.
Nice try.
Michigan had players OUT, including 3 first round draft choice types who QUIT, skipped the game. Oh, and I had
Florida + 7 when I heard this, it went down to + 4 then I took some more. SEC is a good conference to take as DOGS in bowls.
I do not say take these market wagers blindly.
Sure Purdue was flat against an extremely talkented Auburn team that under performed all year but decided to wake up, most assumed they would be flat (I did I had Purdue + 3.5).
You may have forgotten Big 10 Wisky and Minny HAMMERED their foes, and today Mich St squashed a so called big offense today with an NFL QB, Oregon... covered for most of us I had them + 1.5 I think the line went the other way late.
I do agree Utah is a more physical team than most in the conference, though they are on natural turf, tonight, their speed rush will not be as effective.
GL!

The Green Bay Packers have requested an interview with the Northwestern coach regarding their head coach vacancy............

Yep, you're right. Minnesota beat Georgia Tech. All I am saying is that people want to point out this conference stuff but don't want to apply it to all the leagues, just where convenient. As for Auburn, they were an absurdly mediocre team all year. They lost to Tennessee at home for God's sake and got routed by Georgia, Miss State for crying out loud. Sure, we can excuse certain games, teams, conference where convenient but we need to look at everything objectively.

I don't think this is the same QB

Correct.
Huntley was the starter last year and the beginning of this year and got hurt, missed many of the final games.
This kid Shelley played the last several.
It was reported that Huntley was ready to play but would not start that is who I was referring to as being "back".

You really do not understand.
It is far more complex than you see, and I am not going into more detail for you since you are not accepting facts.
BUT:
First of all I NEVER said to ride the Big 10 every game.
I said to GO AGAINST the Pac 12 every game until they falter. It is gold, like going against the MAC.
Yes I pointed out that the Big 10 had some solid credentials as opposed to your smear campaign referencing Purdue and Michigan (I had Florida). Big 10 was solid last year and deserve respect. This year, so-so.
I also ride current year conference streaks but find when you get to the final games, the ones that are the best in the conference, things change.
You are taking snippets of info and misrepresenting what I say, so I will not respond and waste time with you any more.
GL!
