Early Odds

Minnesota is favored by 2.5 points??? Have they been able to score that many in a game lately????

How does that make a difference? Do we have a competitive advantage since we have darker colored jerseys on and they have on white?

Think back to the white shoes vs. black shoes argument from the summer of 2008. White makes it look like we can run faster. :wink:

nothing should look better to a gambler than a line they think is ridiculous. That or they should be thinking...maybe everyone else knows something I don't.

even if you think ISU will win, this is a classic case of not understanding what odds are. Odds are to split the gambling down the center. The points will move up until kick-off to accomplish this. What this tells me is more people are willing to put cash on Minnesota at this time, or that the odds makers feel at this time more people will put money on Minnesota. Want to change it? Then go put 10 million on Iowa State to win.

Exactly.

Personally, I don't see ISU losing this game.
