Doc's Big 11 GOY

[winkyduck]

got an e-mail from them saying it would go off saturday and would be 1 of the following games:

Which will it be?

Illinois at Indiana
Michigan State at Ohio State
Wisconsin at Minnesota
Penn State at Northwestern
Iowa at Purdue

let's take guesses as to what we think it will be - before someon posts it here.

i think it could be:

Indy
Mich State
Purdue

as dumb as this may sound - my guess will be:

Indiana

 

[DanTanna]

I say Wisconsin. Isn't he a big Badger fan?
But it should by Mich St + the points.

 

[jimmymo]

Northwestern plus...they win straight up.

this might help out in guessing

read the last line of the 5th paragraph and this could give it away - and it appers dan might be right (i know - what a shock?)

Guy's it's gonna be minnesota. Look at the line movement. I hope he plays Wisconsin though instead, I'll throw 10 dimes against him. Gophers blow them out. Wisky sucks this year.
I got some of his stuff free earlier in the season and made that much fading him, I kid you not. Then he started getting hot the last few weeks but several of his core staff openend their own service and he has been slipping on his big plays the last few years. Just love Gophers, especially if he is on the other side, but he'll have gophers...........he said his pick will "surprise" some, being that he is based in Wisconsin and usually always releases Wisky to his customers.

The only reason the line has moved is because RB Anthony Davis is out - line went from 7.5 to 8.5. Doc's Big 10 GOY was almost a sure thing in the 1980's and early 1990's - it was almost legendary up here since it would hit so often. However, it's been hit or miss the past 10 years - play at your own risk.

He took Wisconsin last year against Iowa and got plastered. I agree, it's going to be the Badgers with a week off and Alvarez's great record off a bye, especially as an underdog. Don't see how this could be the best Big Ten bet of the year, with Illinois and Indiana getting their ass handed to them on a week-in and week-out basis. To me, taking either Minny or UW at 8.5 points is dicey.

In favor with you think Wisc and Minn a tough call. The guys who left Doc went on to be ASA they have a big game Sat as well..And clame to be 6-0 on it.
I think Purdue is the best choice foe his game.

I also think that it might be Purdue, it seems the best game in the Big Ten where each needs to win this to stay on top. Iowa more so needs a victory as a loss and they would probably be eliminated. Both are playing very well, Purdue is at home , both balance out well on all facets of the game. Will home make a difference, well in big games, I think only Wisconsin this year had the biggest home upset win against Ohio St. I feel, this Purdue team, at home can have the second big upset of Iowa tomorrow.

I couldn't find a W/L record for his GOY on the website. I suppose that means it hasn't fared very well ???

 

[straightshooter+]

he had a huge run of like 16 0r 17 in a row, but then his stuff tanked badly.......that's why he doesn't show it anymore.......just another tout.

 

[Schouest]

You need to look in LAST years handbook as they lost like 7 of their last 9 or something really shitty like that...

Purdue -3 will be all the Big 10 touts pick tom. Pitt +4 or 5 will also be a big service play. Toto

 

[jgerson]

Penn State; I can't see Joe Pa losing 6 in a row. Wright, Northwestern's best player is beat up, while Penn State is starting to get healthy. I look for a Big Nittany Lion blowout here.

 

[ppeter]

It will be Michigan St.

 

[silver7]

Tend to agree w/MSU. There was a time he was $$ in the bank. In the 80`s won the biggest CFB bet I ever made using MSU as a 13-17 pt fav., behind by 10 or so @ half, was shi*ting bricks. They came back and WON! Has been bad L few yrs. Other could be Purdue.

 

[Schouest]

Unfortunately, it'll probably be a play I am on, that jinx...

PLEEEESE not Purdue or Michigan St !!


(I think it's going to be Wisconsin for those scoring at home...)

 

[ppeter]

So did anybody ever find out? My consensus service did not get Docs this week

 

[Dante]

ppeter nice to see you posting ...good luck today

 

[winkyduck]

once again - do we know what it was?

lot's of guesses it was Purdue - but i don't believe i saw anything concrete
