Wisc. is the mystery team for me. Who will be QB and how good are they? How about the O-line with only 34 career starts? And linebackers? Van Ginkle was my fav. at OLB. He's graduated and gone. Interesting year in Madison.(have to keep remembering they had injury prob's Ly, maybe better this year?)
Nebraska seems to have the schedule edge in the West. Not a big Frost fan, but it appears they could win it too. Need to play D.
Looking at Phil's experience chart;
Purdue #126
Northwestern #101
Wisc. #95
Iowa #90
Neb. #73
Minn. # 27 <<
ILL. #31 --no more young team excuses from Lovie. I think they win 5-6 games.
GL Double!
Fantastic post Brother ...
The B1G WEST is Wide Open . ..
Clearly more than any FBS DIVISION ????
My 2 main sets of Futures numbers =
Set 1. ..
My current prices to win the West
Nebraska +315/-
MINNESOTA +395/-
Iowa +440
WISCONSIN +450/+
Purdue +650+
NORTHWESTERN +1975/+ +FADE CITY ???
ILLINOIS +5100-/+
Set #2 completely different than set 1
Nebraska 20.7%
Minnesota 19.6%
Iowa 18.4%
WISCONSIN. 16.9%
Purdue 14.8%
NORTHWESTERN 7.9%
ILLINOIS 1.7%
All these numbers probably don't mean Jack !!!
So many questions about Wisky like you Mentioned ....
I don't see any value in them right now , other than. FADING Them Week 1 for 0.5 Units with USF +10.5 .....
Mertz or one of the other QBS could step up , but more often than not I have them losing 3.7 +games this season ....O line might need a few weeks before gelling.
..
Huskers might be a deserving chalk at this time , but I don't see any value with them at the current +275 .....
Gophers catch them In A decent spot .
If Iowa is good this year it might Cost me a few bucks ...Looking to FADE them vs IOWA St !!!
Local has Iowa 2nd behind Nebraska..
Want to Root for PURDUE , but I can't see them going 6-3 or better vs BIG10. ..MOORE is one of favorite players to watch ...Hope they find new ways to get him the ball in space.
Minnesota might poop the Bed down the stretch and still win 7+ ..( NEED the OVER 6.5 WINS OR BUST ON CFB FUTURES l) LAST 4 GAMES on the schedule look like " BIG10 PLAYOFF GAMES !!
DONT RECOMMEND GOING LARGER ON MINNESOTA DIVISIONS/BIG10 unless you're locked in HUGE on 6.5 OVER ...
Hope the experience pays off ....
PJ FLECK Might be a better coach in tight games than some of the division goes remains to be seen )
Best of Luck Brother
Appreciate your time .
Who are you leaning on in the West at current prices ???
