I agree. I won't even consider taking road teams in Big-10 team games. It's either the home team or a no-play for me. That line scares me though. Wisky is pretty much garbage this year, they're on the road, and yet they're only getting 2??? IMO PSU should be at least -5.

Line is low because Wisconsin owns Penn St. and people still think they a top team in the Big 10, but that will change today. Penn St. is the most underrated team in the Big 10 as they have solid wins over Purdue, Michigan, and at Michigan St. Battle and Cornley might be the best inside/outside punch in the Big 10.

Line isn't that scary to me. PSU was only -5 to an Iowa team at home who has less value in Vegas than Wisconsin, you'd expect it to be lower by at least 3 points. Penn State just gets no respect and they're a good team.

They are not a good team. I wouldn't say either one of these teams are "good" teams. Illinois/Purdue was a brutal game to watch, not because of the pace, but because the teams were awful, and they are both better than wisky/penn st. These are two below average teams playing each other and neither should be in the tournament.

My opinion is Wisconsin wins this game, but I do not think they are anywhere near good or underrated.

sorry that post had nothing to do with the thread......

a litttle too blazed and lost my train of thought

What i was going to say is that the big ten is the easiest conference to bet on........iowa and wisconsin should start picking things up at the end of the year......psu and northwestern should be good fades

Not sure why Penn State is struggling so much. Only given up 12 points in 11 minutes, unfortunately they've only scored 12 points in 11 minutes themselves. Looks like this will be a nailbiter.

Penn St. is done. Didn't make one shot last 7 minutes.

How can your opinion change so quickly? Just a few minutes ago you said they were a 2nd half team, now you're saying they're done?

Having said that though, I agree. Penn State didn't show up today. I knew that line was a trap, but I still played it. Nobody to blame but myself.

They showed no emotion and gave Wisconsin too many easy shots. Battle and Conley jacking up 3's like their Ray Allen.

people shouldn't be surprised. just because penn st beat mich st doesn't make them good. bc beat unc, bc isn't good. geo tech beat wf, geo tech isn't good. port st beat zaga, port st isn't good.

penn st is a bad team, so is wisconsin. wisky wins this game though like i said.
