Spread posted. Michigan 4.5 point favorite (edit: now 5.5)
Bovada currently has Michigan as a -4.5 favorite over Nebraska today.
EDIT: now moved to about -5.5 in most books.
Other notable spreads of interest:
MSU -11 over Wisconsin
Purdue -15 over Rutgers
Ohio St -4.5 over Penn St
Go Blue!
C'mon Wisco -- make it a great start to the weekend.
That OSU line opened at 3.5 and jumped to 4.5 quickly. Early money taking the Buckeyes.. I guess tough to beat a team 3 times in a row?
And Penn State is without one of their best players.
cover. Best bet out of those four, in my opinion. 2nd best would be Rutgers to cover, but I am not sure on that one. Would stay away from bets on Mich-Neb and OSU-PSU - those lines look fair...
-4.5 point favorite, so Nebraska is favored?
It's either Michigan -4.5, or Michigan is a 4.5 point favorite. Combining contradicts itself.
you're a fun guy
Egh, I knew I was gonna be negged for being a grammar (gambling?) nazi but it was bothering me...
Not a good look
....but did you find anything wrong with his grammar in the post???
We played our worst game at their place and I have a feeling this team doesn't shoot poorly on back to back days. Statement game on the way to the B1G finals.
GO BLUE!!
The line is now at -4 in most books with 54% of the tickets on Nebraska, 63% of the money on Michigan.
Could just be sharps fading the public here, but I think they're confident in a Michigan cover - a good sign, IMO.
Edit: More tickets coming in on Michigan now, this may settle at -4.5
It was interesting yesterday as all the sharps were pounding money in on Maryland and then they lose. Conference tourney spreads can be odd.
You're right, I'm seeing 52% of the money and 60% of the tickets were on Maryland, most at -2.5 yesterday.
Even though sharps and public were in on MD, the line shrunk and ended up at -2. Reverse line movement, i.e. Line moves in the opposite direction of the tickets+money. The books made out on that one.
Hey do you mind giving me a link to the site you use to gather this info? I am always interested in reading about sharp/public money.
On a side , if you're on twitter, "The Greek Sportsbook" is a good follow to see stuff posted about when sharp money is coming in on plays.
That BTN announcer was probably right. Nebraska needed to play Michigan again for the chance at a resume boost. Nebraska needs at least 1-2 Q1 wins in the BTT to get into the tournament.
These clowns call us "michigan state" at least once. Should be a fireable offense.
THIS...IS...MICHIGAN!!!
GO BLUE!!
Did anyone watch the other B1G games yesterday? I was wondering if we were the only game that had whistle happy refs.
but fucking maddingly inconsistent whistles. Iowa guy incidentally runs into Mo's leg and it's a foul on Mo. Z gets intentionally tripped driving the lane and it's Iowa ball because Z flung it out of bounds trying to protect himself during the fall.
I'll be celebrating early as I know for a fact that we can't play as bad as we did in Lincoln 2 games in a row against these guys. No freakin' way.
Big team with over 10 conf wins and more than 21 overall wins has ever been
Left out .
I am actually having to watch this game elsewhere as I am one of the victims of the snow and ice at the moment. Of course, the day I took off to do some things is the day I am without power and a refugee with a laptop.
As for the spread, I would have thought it would have been a little wider, but then my nightmares from our last run-in with Nebraska says that is fairly reasonable.
You called it: A lot of late line movement and it looks like this may actually settle at Michigan -5.5.
58% of the tickets on Nebraska, 59% of the money on Michigan.
I'll take Miles Bridges to cover the 40 by himself.
