I know exactly what side of the square/sharp fence that I'm on with this play, but . . . I know that Minnesota has a run game, especially on the turf, but the Purdue defense has allowed 32 yards on the ground all year and allowed 3.1/rush ly and have lost only once by more than 3 in the past 2 years. Minny QB hasn't shown much this year and that's been with the benefit of play action with the Gophers great start on the ground. This is one of two games that Purdue has more than a remote chance of losing in the Big 10, so they won't not show up here.

Purdue +3.5 2 units
Purdue +150 1 unit

BBC - Are you suprised the early money is going on Washington? I have seen the line move from 13.5 to 12.5... I am staying away from the game, but I can easily see our Domers beating this team by 45 or being in a dog fight throughout. GL on Purdue - I'm thinking about taking the Golphers if my early plays hit.

I think it's a tough spot for the Irish after an OT loss and 2 time zones. The only reason I'm not playing the Huskies is due to all the bad mouthing of the players that the coordinators did after EVERY ND loss the last 3 years. But, I agree with your assessment, the game won't be near the spread.

Go Irish!!

i watched cupito cancel out that strong ground with bonhead plays several times last year.....

certainly,the jury`s still out on that guy....

i have trouble seeing washington hang in vs n.d. myself...and i also know that`s as square as sponge bob`s pants...

the huskies put up 34 vs idaho...who gave up 39 a game last year...and lost to air force at home....

if stanback`s on,could be an awful lot of points in this one....but,they aren`t consistent...

i just think n.d.`s experienced offense will be to cohesive...and to strong...actually like them coming off the tough loss....they should be focused...

g.l.,bobert....

That's the point on Caputo. When he has obvious passing downs (which they are never in until Big 10 play), it's a nightmare. You've both talked me into ND on the pleaser. Go Irish!! Beat Ty!!

Illinois +10.5 (-108)
SC -20.5 (-108)
Michigan -3(-105)


All one unit

Pleaser (.1 to win 4.5)
Purdue -3
Pur/Minn Under 48
ND -18.5
SC -26.5
