I am not fathoming Wisconsin -15 1/2 over Minnesota? The Bank will be rocking Saturday and my money will be on the Gophers plus points and the ML. I expected this line to be around 7 points. What am I missing -- Minny playing their best ball in years?
Crazy Line

- Start date
I thought the same thing at first when I saw this line. But then I remembered we are talking about the Goofers here and I dug up their schedule this year:

09/07/13 at New Mexico State TV Las Cruces, N.M. W, 44-21

They always have 4 patsies to start the season and they usually win all of those and they did this season.
Now its on to the Big-10 schedule. They lose to Iowa who is not a very good team and then go to Ann Arbor (she's a whore, you know) and get blown out by a poor Michigan team that is currently a 6.5 pt underdog to the Hawkeyes--which should tell you how bad they really are this season.
Then they run off 4 more wins after the two loses--but again, who have they beaten? Northwestern has been proven to be a terrible team this season as has Nebraska and Indiana is, well, Indiana. Toss in a depleted Penn State squad due to the loss of scholarships and there really isn't a team they have beaten that is close to the talent Wisconsin has.
And there is a huge drop in class from Wisky, Ohio State and Michigan State to the rest of the sad sack Big-10 teams this season.
It will be rocking in The Bank on Saturday as you say, but emotion will only take you so far before the talent takes over.
I see Minny losing their last two and by quite a few points. I can't lay over two scores here with Bucky and its not enough points for me to play the Golden Showers, either.
Good luck if you play this one.....:toast:
