    Minnesota should be favored today

    I'm surprised the line hasn't moved to Minnesota -1 at least. Still at Michigan -2. Michigan's defense has been playing even more out of position than their football team's defense over the last 2 weeks. They've lost 6 of 7 including some ugly, ugly losses to Indiana and NW. Minnesota will dominate the glass and Trevor Mbakwe will have a double-double even if he doesn't start. Blake Hoffarber will go for 20+ now that there's more shots for him with Devoe Joseph out of the picture. Michigan has won 4 in a row vs. Minny and the Gophers tendency to crash the boards could create fast break opportunities for Michigan but that assumes Minnesota will miss many shots which they won't with the egregious mismatch down low.

    You don't bet against an unranked home fave.

    It's bad business.

    Its not that I'm betting against an unranked home favorite, its that I don't think the unranked home team should be favored. Besides, I'm a Michigan fan and after watching them go the first 10 mins of the Indiana game without a single rebound and now they have to play one of the best rebounding teams in the country I'm obviously skeptical.

    You don't make rules about what to do or not to do. It is different in every case break the matchup down then pick the game or lay off.

    Minnesota should've been favored. Michigan plays well against all these ranked teams, taking Kansas to OT and Ohio State down to the last minute. They need to learn to finish, they need to learn how to play in the first 10 minutes of a second half. It's getting old Mr. Beilein.
