Around SBN: Preakness 2012: I'll Have Another Wins Again

The Big Ten Betting Extravaganza: Week 11

First of all I'd like to mention how smart you all were last week in your infinite wisdom to take Illinois and the 3.5 very important points instead of taking them straight up.  That was the right thing to do.  It feels good to do the right thing, doesn't it?  Keep doing that.  Good, then. 

Your reward is 12 Angry Fitzgeralds:

 I'LL KILL YOU!  I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!!! 

 

The weekly results are below the jump.  I'll just say this:  you could find the amount that we need to get back to even in a fat stripper's g-string on a Tuesday afternoon.  If that's not enough to motivate you.....well then you have a higher moral fiber than I ever will, good sir.  Here's the grid:

Linesy_medium

  

Iowa going on the road and giving 10 points to a team that keeps finding ways to inexplicably beat them seems like a lot.  Having said that, it's the smallest spread of the Big Ten weekend.  I don't know about you, but I don't think I would want to have to give Indiana 21.5 points.  But hey, let's retain the sanctity of the poll, shall we?  Put your homerism in your pocket and vote for a winner, folks.   

Star-divide

Last week's failpost belongs to Tacop84 for going1-4 in his predictions.  I'm giving him a loss in the game he didn't pick because i can.  Get off the goddamn fence.  It wasn't all bad, though, because he looked like a pseudo-Hawkstradamus in his ability to predict his own failure.  Well done.  Except not.    

Fail2dp_medium  

I'm going to split the real Hawkstramus Award this week between HawkeyeRecon and BStylin Hawkye because there wasn't a whole lot of prediction win last week.  (I almost decided not to give it to BStylin because as I was typing his name i saw that he was missing an 'e' in Hawkeye, which I had never noticed before and it made me feel silly purposely spelling it wrong.)

Penn Schtate wins

But if you don’t believe me then take Michigan/ Purdue on the over. Try to find a reason it won’t happen.

I like Penn St to cover (but think aOSU probably wins)...

…and like the UM/OMHR Over as well.

[Picked the Ill/Mich Over last week, and felt like a winner when I saw the halftime score.]

by Eyeheartfreedumb on Nov 12, 2010 3:40 PM CST up reply actions  

I voted Illinois to cover

Bounce back game after last week’s debacle, they won’t let Minnesota get 10 points (at least against the first string Illini defense). Gophers are good at the garbage time covers this season though, so I don’t love the pick, but there’s not a lot of tempting lines on that board.

by Loretta8 on Nov 12, 2010 11:25 AM CST reply actions  

Take the over on the Michigan/OMHR

62 points assumes a game higher than 31-30. Robinson/Forcier have the ability to create at least 31 for the Michigan offense, and playing on the road in conference so far, they have allowed 35 and 41 points.

I expect Michigan to put up close to 40, but allows at least 28 points on the road.

The present leader is not something you can actually bet on, unless you mean you’d really bet Iowa to cover. Don’t do it. As every week, don’t bet on your own team. Fucking hell.

I voted the Michigan/OMHR over. 62 points? Psshaw. Michigan/IL scored 90 in regulation for gods sake, and beat the over in the first half alone. How is this even a question? That’s only 31.5 per team. And, you know RRod won’t back off if they get up 21+ (to be fair, with the pack of journalism majors he’s throwing out there on D, he shouldn’t. But, the D is Carr’s fault) since he and Sensei have history. And Skippy will be slinging it like a mofo after Robinson gets hurt again. In an effort to be recognized for either failing or nostradamusing, Robinson will make it to the 10:00 minute mark of the 2nd quarter before going out for the day. Not wishing an injury, nor predicting what body part, just the sit down.

by txhawkeye on Nov 12, 2010 11:34 AM CST reply actions  

While I tend to believe that Penn St. and Ohio St.

Will be a pretty close game, and Wisconsin is due for a semi-collapse (+21 seams like ALOT) The over on Michigan and OMHR could easily be reached by the end of the 3rd qtr. Michigans defense could easily give up 25-30 pts to a battered offense.

Haweye fans

are putting too much stock into Indiana. We scored 9 points on 4 trips inside the 10 f’n yard line! I don’t feel like Indiana was good on D so much as we did not execute. 21 is what the Hawks should have won by and Wisconsin will do the job we didn’t (though I hope they lose).

Michigan hasn’t covered ATS last 5 games. now spotting 13 pts on the road with a bad defense? I’ll take the Boilers. The over is trendy and predictable and thus has no value (although 6 of their last 7 have gone over, so perhaps Vegas isn’t catching on).

Indiana and Penn St are both tempting, in the same way that a 17 yr old is tempting. you may look twice at her but you’d never touch.

by KentuckyThunderPussy on Nov 12, 2010 11:48 AM CST reply actions  

Indiana tempted me enough

Penn State to cover.

A 3:30 game after Daylight Savings Time ends means McGimlisonofGloin will not shrivel under the midday November sun.

The UM/Purdue over is as tempting as any other Michigan over as well.

I told you so, I told you so, I told you so.

Did you pick the over on the Mich-Sick-nois game?

Recall I said DickRod and Zookers would try to out piss each other and what happened? The Zookers petered out in overtime and dribbled down his leg.

This week, don’t ask me why, but I like McPenn State to cover tOSU. Take the points and get with McGloin and Co.

Or go with the over on the MIchigan game (which should be your fall back if you can’t stand to pick anything else).

by Stay thirsty, my friends. on Nov 12, 2010 11:59 AM CST reply actions  

I voted Indiana to cover

and I really hope that choice wasn’t a product of last week’s game and a desire to see a Wisconsin loss.

I might as well win this week’s award while I’m here. The following teams will cover:

OSU
Illinois
Michigan
Iowa

If not, at least I should get the failpost award for undeserved overconfidence.

by PurpleMonkeyDishwasher on Nov 12, 2010 12:02 PM CST reply actions  

Every opportunity

to vote “idiot” I gladly take. That said, Indy +21 seems like a ton. I’d take that. I like the over on Michigan/Purdue, but I no longer know whether they have eleven healthy individuals on their team. I know, you may not need that to score on Michigan, but can Purdue now score 20 points in any scenario? Still (electronic voice)— “Rich Rodriguez is an offensive genius” and “You are a hater”. I have played that thing once each of the past three days.

But then again, isn’t Utah favored by less than a touchdown over Notre Dame? THAT’S YOUR BET!!!!!!

Michigan’s defense is so bad, I don’t see anyone falling more than two scores behind them.

But, based on recent history, I took the Iowa/jNW under. These don’t tend to be high-scoring games. I think/hope Iowa breaks out of last week’s red zone woes, but even so, I see the final being somewhere around 27-17.

I'm gonna keep my Iowa thoughts quiet but in a swaggering way.

Regarding the others, let me slap my balls on HFMR’s chopping block:

1) OMHR does an Ohio State redux on the Wolverines as Ryan Kerrigan takes a shillelagh to D-Robs head and then rips Tate a new Forcier. Purdue by a brazillian points.

2) While a predict them to lose, Minnesota will find a way to keep it close which likely means that Zook and idiotic play calling will be involved somehow. Gophers keep the loss to under 7 points.

there is absolutely no way that OSU piss pounds PSU…no friggen way.

I have no good reason to think Michigan and OMHR won’t go over…but I do…so there.

In that spirit…I have no reason to believe in Minnesota…but I think Illinois is the new MSU…looks decent…might even be good…oh yeah…they suck. Minnesota won’t win it…especially not at Illinois but it’ll be “closer than the experts think”.

One last prediction…the Evil Witzgerald will out-think the room against Iowa and it will backfire…I’m thinking fake FG fail. No one has tried one yet…and well…why the hell not? The end result will be the Evil Witzgerald defecating himself and then attempting to Stink Palm Ferentz after the game.

Michigan-Purdue: TAKE THE OVER MY GOD TAKE THE OVER. Michigan might break that by themselves, and if not a ball of string could put up 20 on them to make up the difference. Also leaning Michigan ATS, because the only unit in that game that doesn’t suck is Michigan’s offense.

Indiana-Wisconsin: Wisconsin is a very good team. Indiana is a very not good team. I’ll take Wisconsin and under, but not much confidence on either.

Minnesota-Illinois: No clue on the over-under, but Illinois covers with ease. They’ve regularly beaten the shit out of bad teams this year, and Minnesota is a bad team.

OSU-PSU: I don’t trust the PSU offense one bit (McGimli’s been getting it done against awful defenses), but Tressel is notorious for shutting it down the instant they get up two scores. PSU’s lost 24-3 twice this year; this time I think they mix it up and lose 24-7, thus covering the spread. The under is the safer bet, though.

Iowa-NW: If NW is in a game with a spread greater than 7 points, ALWAYS take the points. (Hypothetically, of course; even I know you never bet on your own team either way.) Also feels like an under pick.

My vote went to Penn State +17.5 at Ohio State – Will Penn St come out flat after a huge come from behind victory and Joe Pa’s 400th win? It’s possible but I think they will keep it close.

Illinois/Minnesota Under 53 – Will Minnesota even score more than 10 points?
Indiana +21.5 at Wisconsin – Only cause I hope Wisconsin loses /rosebowled
Michigan/Purdue Over 62- Very hesitant on this one, Purdue has averaged less than 8 points its last three games.
