Minnesota vs Mich St line....

This line makes absolutely no sense to me at -2 MN. I know MN at home is a much different team but and has been scoring a bunch of points but they will be without starting PG Al Nolen who is currently ruled academically ineligible.

Blake Hoffarber has yet to prove he can get off shots against good Big 10 teams. This team in my opinion offensively goes as Blake Hoffarber goes.

Am I missing something?

I know that Ron and was thinking same thing but I follow this MN team close and have no idea how they will be able to win this game let alone cover a 2 pt spread. GL with your play tomorrow I will be sitting this one out.

I stopped asking why. Most of these make no sense.

There will be 70% or more on Mich St. If the line stays at -2 its money.

Link. I looked at this game wanting to make a strong play on Minnesota, but also couldn't find any reasons too. Favored at home over Mich St means something, and they have a great home record and have motivation to knock off the division beast at home but I don't see how they get it done. I bet that line will be pushed to PK or -1 Mich St before tip-off.

I'd rather go with Alabama at -1 at home vs. ranked Mississippi State. Although they beat Mississippi and are ranked higher, I don't think Miss State is a better team then them, and I think they check back to reality after Alabama shuts them down in this game. "After jumping out to a big lead over Arkansas on Thursday, the Bulldogs nearly watched the game slip out of their grasps before escaping with an 82-80 win.

Two days later, Georgia came into town and led by 13 with 4:16 to play before State closed the game on an 18-2 run to escape with a 72-69 win."

With the Mississippi road win before this game, I think they will be gassed and this will be a huge letdown game for them.

Alabama baby.
