Can someone please explain how the hell Wisconsin -10 over NW?

Illini · Oct 6, 2013

I just put a dime on NW. WTF seriously.

REDEYE · Oct 6, 2013

should be closer to 7.. I saw that on 1V

HarryCaray · Oct 6, 2013

Yeah that doesn't seem right at all, I watch a lot of big 10 (as I'm sure you do too) and I'd set this line at Wisc -6

Illini · Oct 6, 2013

Edit: Make that 2 dimes. Will look to buy back some. But this number can't stick around for long.

I wouldn't bet Wisky at -4. Yeah, I know Wisky has to be favored here, but I wouldn't lay points. I don't think NW is going to have a hangover. I could be wrong, but I think last night proved they were for real and have to be taken seriously.

big let down spot for NW and i think they will be physically wore down to.. if ohio state ran it down their throat can you imagine what wisconsin will do from power formations

Bucky at home on field turf and the 3 headed backfield bad for the Cats

if TOSU was -7 at Northwestern why not -10 at Camp Randall

You could be right, but I just don't see it that way. I think NW proved a lot last night and has nothing to hang their heads about. They were 50/50 to win that game and it came down to a questionable spot on 4th and inches. I think they win if they get that 1st down. I just don't see a letdown here.

Does anyone still think OSU -7 was the right line?

I'd say 6 would have been more accurate

I'd have to disagree. What I saw was a team that had no chance of not covering and Ohio St never even had the ball with a chance to drive and cover. I was on Ohio St ML and feel very fortunate to win that one. I believe that NW wins if they get that first down. They sure changed my opinion of them from nice team to legit.

Don't get me wrong Nw played great. The 2 things I took away from that game are Osu pass d needs to improve and Nw was terrible against the run. I hate teams that can't stop the run. It is a recipe for disaster against teams like Osu and Wi

How many times have they been within 10 at Camp Randall over the past 25 years?

It may not be worth much but they've covered +10 twice at Wisconsin over the past 23 years.

EveryGamblersDream · Oct 6, 2013

I could not wait for the lines to come out as I was going to be on Wisconsin regardless of the number. This is a terrible emotional letdown spot for the Wildcats & I could easily see them getting smoked by 14+ here.

theDude24 · Oct 6, 2013

yup - will load up on Wisky here
off a bye week for wisky.

NW sad about losing

WI 41-24

HuskerFan1 · Oct 6, 2013

neb is a cover machine vs bums, -14 on the road i like

stanford and A&M in a teaser looks easy this week
