Upset!

Wisconsin -16.5

Minnesota has been good this year and has a legit chance to beat Wisconsin. Not saying it's going to happen, but it's a chance.

Why would Utah v Stanford have been in Pick'ems?

Who's got the ballz to pick Minny for 10?

I wouldn't say legit chance but they have a chance. Only reason being this game is in Minneapolis.

Wisconsin has won 16 of the last 18 in the rivalry including the last nine in a row.

Minne is ranked? I didn't notice until now...had to rub my eyes.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yah it is weird seeing Minnesota ranked and Florida nowhere near the rankings.

There is no chance that Minnesota wins, and taking -16.5 is a steal.

because the game is on espn and they know more people will watch if they have points on it.....

Really, I don't think there are 2 TDs and a field goal difference between these two teams. Forget history and look at today. And when I say forget history, I mean "forget how bad Minnesota has been the last decade or more". Wisky has been a solid program for a while, but not consistently great. Just look at their last 3 games v Fresno State this decade. They're good, not great.

I mean look at the scores of common opponents and then tell me there isn't much of a difference between the 2 teams.

The Goofs struggle against the crappy Big Ten teams...we dominate them.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

Everytime they reach mediocrity, they always find a way to play us tight and drag us into some kind of sloppy fuckup of a game.

So I hope the spread adds to the Badgers bitter hatred of the goofs.

The last time Wisconsin played Fresno, I was a Freshman. I graduated a year and a half ago. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

Wisconsin is 9-0-1 against the spread, and have 7 wins by 19 or more points. Don't overthink this.

Wisconsin 45
Minnesota 14

Maybe Vegas has caught onto the fact that the Badgers have been underrated all season (hence the undefeated record ATS), and they've actually stretched for this one. Maybe not. All depends whether Wisconsin jumps out to a lead or not.
