PENN STATE @ PURDUE: If the books keep spitting out lines like this, we have to keep taking them.

You guys are more than free to wait for a better spot.

It jumped from 12.5 to 14 in about 2 minutes on 5Dimes.

Opened at 10.5 on BetOnline.

I'm fine with the 14.

I think once some of the bigger bettors start to understand how well Purdue performed against Nebraska, and their bets, possibly swallowing up some Purdue action, may cause this line to go to 13.5 which is obviously below the 2 TD's I more than will take.

Last week UCF opened at -2.5 and I never saw it again so I was happy to jump here.

Correction: *2016 Record: 23-8 (74%)

Didn't include the Jets win. Not like it matters but I like to rub it into the trolls.

I'm telling ya, ya may not see 14 again. If you see 14.5 I'll be floored. That is a sick number Ian!

 keep your streak alive, can't wait until later in the week when your "hoping Scal will lose a play group" shows up to post after first quarter (only to disappear once game covers), gotta love the Covers Nation, never seen people wish others would lose like these bums

It is my favorite game!

Apparently these bettors have no idea what fight Purdue put up in Lincoln which is leaps and bounds beyond anything seen under Hazell.

These squares simply don't watch the games, see Purdue at any number and fade them.

That was appropriate under Hazell but things have changed very quickly!

And what's great is that all of Purdue shi* metrics are so terrible, when these guys datamine and run their simulations, they get Purdue losing by 30. Not the case. Not in this game! Things have changed! Look at what Purdue did with Iowa. Down 35-7, they fought like hell and almost got it inside the -11 with 5 minutes left to play, only falling 3 outside the number in a blowout.

With Purdue, you get the 'lose respectably' mentality too which helps you cover big spreads. And this spread is big. Maryland was only giving 10. Penn State is better than Maryland but they are coming off such an electric win.

Not only that, but Purdue had one goal this year: A bowl of any kind.

To lock that up, you need 6 wins. Lose this game and go to 3-5 and you have to go 3-1 to close out the year. They are going to fight to win this. Not cover, but win. They will fight. And with 2 TD's and a fight, we are good to go. 

I thought the same thing and bet it accordingly. Purdue showed signs last week..played with discipline and actually competed for 4 quarters.

In the preseason, I put this game in the winnable column. May be taking a shot on the ML as well.
