UNI Spread

[ISU2]

I would imagine it was a couple sizable bets right when the line opened. Realistically not a lot of people bet this game especially with the late line opening.

2023.... 21 point favorite?

nailed it

Everyone send me your life savings and I'll bet some amount of it that we're not covering a 21 point spread.

Absolutle nailed it.

Lol at DK with that -7 spread hope they lost a lot on that one.

Have to admit that I would have bet the farm on uni+21, but I was lazy and by the time I checked this morning it was down to 6.5 so I rode with the clones. My procrastination paid off.

Well I won’t be coming to this forum for betting advice

Was anyone else puzzled by UNI going for 2 when they were down 21? Not great for UNI +21 thru +20.

Agree... I'd hammer UNI with a few 1,000 bucks... and be happy no matter what happens. I'd be fine losing that if we won by 20 or more.

You’re fine losing a few thousand on a bet against ISU just to beat UNI by 20?? Brent Blum needs to give you a call.

I was puzzled too, but in the game thread several folks explained that it was already a 3-score lead at 21 points; if you cut it to 19 with a 2-point conversion, potentially the 3 scores could be 2 TD+2s and a field goal. Fail on the 2-pointer and it’s still 3 possessions, just 3 TDs. So you don’t lose anything if you don’t make the 2, and if you succeed you’re set up to just need 2 TDs and a FG instead of 3 TDs.
