I was checking through college football news(yes that CFN), and saw that the line for the game is Purdue -12? Huh? Is this accurate, or did CFN just fuck up?

Wolve318: nope it is correct. Purdue sucks that much.
Incorrect: Correct line would be Purdue +12 which prompted this reply by Beavis.
You have clearly never bet on college football. Or you were high/drunk when you posted that.
You haven't been paying attention to the general mood of the blog if you think this was an asshole comment. You responded with:
well you are right, because I think gambling is perhaps the most moronic of hobbies.
Now this is an asshole comment. You are getting defensive and basically called anyone who gambles a moron. I gamble occasionally. I can sit at a casino for a few hours and I may lose some cash but you know what? It's the price of entertainment. It's not your thing, but don't pass judgement on those who do enjoy it.

Beavis postulated that you have never bet on football OR you were high/drunk.
Since you have never bet on football, the second half of his comment does not apply.
An alternate response from you could have been "you are right, I do not gamble" and everyone goes on their merry way but, instead, you chose to insult a good portion of this blog's users.

I think M will win, but I don't think we can take anything for granted with the defense the way it is. Also, Purdue will no doubt see a game against Michigan as a chance to make their season.

Umm, pretty sure that was a joke. No, the over/under was not 131 last week. I don't think anyone was actually predicting 67-65 last week.
105 total points is equally nuts. Sure its in the realm of possibility, but a tip -- if you ever see that line, take the under, because it's a typo. (Unless we're talking basketball).

Instead, we win an epic game in about the only way possible that gets Michigan bowl eligible AND wins me money. I about knocked over the blackjack table I was at when the last 2pt attempt failed.

True enough, but then again our offense was pathetic in 2008, average in 2009, and DILITHIC in 2010.
