Only one that's too low is Penn State IMO. I think they should be 10.5 with Ohio State and michigan, it's gonna be a tight race this year.

Also I'd have Wisconsin at 8.5, why is it 9? That's weird.

How can a half win total be just right if you are predicting win totals? It has to be either too high or too low, doesn't it?

Never understood not have the .5 for any betting odds, it's dumb.

I kind of get that. At 8.5 for Wisconsin, the money will go heavy on the over, at 9.5, heavy on the under. 9 is the concensus number.

I just hate that it can be a push. Like you can never get that with a .5 but you can when it's a whole number.
 


Lmao. Imagine paying 350 million a year and you end up with Charlotte vs. MD and Cuse vs Purdue in primetime. Yiiiiiikes.

Agree. Vegas took me out of the game at 9. But, their goal is for them to make money, not me.

I think 9 is pretty optimistic for a team with new coach changing offensive and defensive systems

Wisconsin has been a little over hyped the past few years.

Iowa should be favorite for the division, and I have no love for them

I can see 3 possible losses on Wisconsin's schedule. No more. And the talent upgrade at QB will be huge. I can see better odds for 11 wins than only 8 wins but not enough to lay money.

8 is much more likely than 11.

I don't think Wisconsin stinks, but I think their over/under is generous by about a game.

No guarantee the QB is huge upgrade.

Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin will be top 4 teams in West and no order would surprise me of those 4.

Illinois lost a helluva lot from last year. Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin are coin flips. But I see better odds that UW beats both than loses to both. Ohio State may be the only game where UW is the underdog.

Illinois defense has very good front 7.

Badgers front 7 looks a little inexperienced.

I'm higher on Illinois then others.

Wisconsin has been over hyped few years straight, they're entering Nebraska over hyped territory. I don't see new coach with new offense and defense get them back to their glory days year 1.
 
And Minnesota is again keeping the axe

The schedule is very kind, also. I expect the defense to take a step back, but the offense to make a quantum leap forward. The cupboard is not bare.

At Michigan State with 5.5 I’m taking the over. Realistically 6 or 7 wins. Whoever the QB is can’t be worse than Thorne.

Yeah that dude really tumbled last year. I thought they had another solid performer after 2021.

Maybe Walker's running opened things up for him in 2021? Their running game was pretty rough in 2022.

Even Reed fell off last year. Was he hurt?

I didn't say it was, I just don't see them grasping a totally new offense and defense and just vaulting to the top right off the bat

I'm also not surprised a badger fan is overly optimistic about the badgers

and obviously I don't think it's bare, otherwise I wouldn't say the over/under is only one game too high IMO. Wisconsin has been preseason B1GW favorite for 4 straight seasons, I think they're a little over hyped
