Week 12 Gambling Guide

Illinois at Ohio State

OSU – 41.5, Over / Under 55

Well crap, this one is easy.  Illinois is awful.  Ohio State covers and since the Bucks put up 60 alone, take the over.

Indiana vs Rutgers

Indiana – 11.5, O/U 47

Despite similar records, I think the Hoosiers are the much better team and they are playing at home.  Should be a nip and tuck affair but IU wins by 14 to 17 points and covers.

Iowa vs Purdue

Iowa -6.0, O/U 43

I know Iowa’s offense has been all over the map but if they can do even a fraction of what they did two weeks ago against Ohio State, Iowa can beat anybody.  It might not be pretty but Iowa wins by 10.  Avoiding the over under though, because Iowa could pull a OSU game out of their butts and win 56-10 or they could totally turtle and win 21-10.  No thanks.

Maryland at Michigan State

MSU -14.0, O/U 45

Sparty is a two-touchdown favorite?  Can they even score two touchdowns?  The offensively challenged Spartans win, not sure by how much, but I know that total isn’t even sniffing 45.  Take the under.

Michigan at Wisconsin

Wisconsin -7.0, O/U 41

This line and over reeks of Michigan favoritism.  Wisconsin’s outstanding defense keeps the Wolverines score in the single digits, Wisconsin gets into the double digits.  UW covers and take that under.

Minnesota at Northwestern

NU – 7.0, O/U 40

Oooh, I think this is going to be a really fun game.  I’ll take those cardiac cats to pull another one off, scoring late to push their lead from 3 to 10 and cover in a thriller.

 

Nebraska at Penn State

PSU – 27.5, O/U 59

Gimme, gimme, gimme, the same bet I did for the Buckeyes.  Penn State wins big and puts up 50+ alone.

Lightning Round for Non-Readers:

Illinois/Ohio State – USU, Over

Indiana/Rutgers – IU

Iowa/Purdue – UI

Maryland/Michigan State – Under

Michigan/Wisconsin – UW, Under

Minnesota/Northwestern – NU

Nebraska/Penn State – PSU, Over
