I know you're exagerrating but calm down. Spreads don't mean much.
No, they only control billions of dollars in bets every year.

Cool, but that has nothing do with the game...
Thanks for the comment though.

RE: NIU 7 pt. Dogs
I got 7.5 yesterday, so folks are still betting on the boat propellers.
Edit: I see it's back down to 7 so it looks like the late money is coming in NIU.

It's funny how people take spreads to be predictions on the game....a number is thrown out and the public makes the line move because Vegas wants both sides bet evenly. The money is in the commissions of the bets.

RE: NIU 7 pt. Dogs
Quote:NIU as underdogs could be the motivation the team needs to play mistake free FB.
NIU doesn't really need that much motivation for that -- they've been playing amongst the best in the country in terms of not f'ing it up as far as turnovers are concerned, plus punting well and making the most out of things -- which is why they're 9-2. If anything, you'd want it to be the motivation for everything else in execution.
But it should be no shocker that in this road game that NIU is point-spread underdog. This isn't early in the season. Plus, WMU is 10-1 against the spread coming up to this. Really 10-0-1 against the spread from where I have bet (our first game against Purdue; spread was 9, lost by 9). NIU pulled out wins but has been sub-par to what one would expect a 9-2 team to be. Has some convincing to do -- so Yes, in reference to That -- that could motivate NIU to "wake up" a bit. MAC West title's on the line as well.
