    Hoosiers -3 @ Huskers HOW HOW HOW??

    I just don't get this. Line opened at 4.5 and smacked me in the face right there. 91% of bets on IU and now it's down to -3.

    I just simply do not get it. Sure IU has had a couple of bad games but they have Nebraska so out matched it's rediculous.

    Clearly some big money men like Nebraska but I just can't see why. Not going to make a play until I have done some more research but I've seen enough of these stupid lines cash recently. Not everyone is a trap and taking Nebraska does not make you a hero if it loses.

    Thoughts?

    Exactly. You can be as sharp as you like but they still have to play the game. Who's gonna guard Zeller? Who's gonna stop Hulls from draining 3's all night? Just makes no sense.

    whos gonna stop watford too?

    anyways...i love this hoosiers team....they were my biggest suprise sleeper coming into the year and have made me alot of money.....they could easily blow away this nebraska team...however...this is the time of year that its very hard to win on other teams homecourts.....shit starts happening...home teams shoot well and get to the ft line more than the visitors....road teams shoot like shit in other teams gyms(case in point michigan last sat at iowa).....im staying away from giving points on another teams homecourt

    As I said in the other thread, Nebraska took Illinois and Wisconsin down to the wire on the road, and Indiana's won one Big Ten road game in the last three years.

    Will the Hoosiers have too much firepower here? Perhaps, but they're not going to get the open looks they're used to. Nebraska plays lock-down D. Just a question of whether or not they can score enough to keep it close.

    Milwaukee opened at +2.5 and closed at +3. ML never dropped. So to answer your question, no.

    I think big money will be coming in late on Indiana and the line will go back up. If you want to bet Nebraska you might as well wait, I think you will get better than +3 right before tip-off. I still like Indiana -3.

    You could of got Nebraska +4.5. More bets went on Indiana and the spread went down to +3. I see it going down more and more before game time.

    Going to game ; Diaz back makes Neb mich much better. Best player on team out almost whole year ; 14-9 per game . Nebraska was undefeated at home most year last year and damn near beat Wisconsin last game. Mark it; NU wins by 2

    why bet plenty of other games just sit back and enjoy and with nebraska getting 15 at wisconsin of course it would cover 2 defensive teams and that big a line almost free money

    I know sometimes sharps bet one way in the morning to bring the line down and then go twice as much the other way because they got a better number. I think it will go back up.

They blew that game fact that neb stormed the court lets you know who was shocked they won that game.
