Purdue +3.5

Also I think Texas +6.5 and ML is a good play. Similar situation. Texas Tech was rolling with big wins over WVU and TCU and then they got embarrassed by Kansas State. Another letdown spot angle pick.

Texas is an interesting one, ML isn't too bad of a gamble.
I like Purdue too, I think everyone has overhyped this Penn St team, and Purdue has the capability to hang with the big boys as they showed vs ND.

Idk if I like this, Im pretty sure Penn St is DEF. gonna cover 3.5 and win. But I also followed The Prick with UK +6.5 vs Vanderbelt.. So dont listen to me.

I backed Purdue. They have played a much tougher schedule(most of the top conference teams) in much tougher spots(at ND). Purdue lost by 7 at OSU, Penn St lost by 12 to OSU in Happy Valley. They also played ND as we as any of ND's super tough opponents have thus far.

I felt this game should have been Purd-2 to E, so Purdue seems like definite value. Their D line is actually alot more solid than some of their scores would indicate. I expect Purdue to bring their best game at home in an all out effort get their first Big 10 win(0-4 with losses to Mich Wisc and OSU). Penn St has had a favorable schedule to be 3-1 in Big Ten, and lost in a horrible performance at Virginia.

Gl win you plays!

Although I bet Purdue, several writers who I respect and who cover the Big Ten very closely predicted Penn St 3-7 pts. Seems like the touts were on them also, but 90% of those guys are jokes.

That UK pick was a travesty. I believe the dsi guy said the sharps were on UK as well. I know sharps can differ in opinions, but anyone who has seen UK and Vandy play 2-3 games this season, knows this game was a complete mismatch, despite Vandy's struggles on the road. They have a stud D vs one of the most inept offenses I have seen in big conference play.

I felt like a jackass giving the opening 8.5 when it dipped below 7, now I don't feel soo bad.

I totally hear you on that, good call not going with the sharps and taking UK. Hopefully Penn St can pull this one out for me.

buying a 1/2 pt and sticking with Penn St -3, FINAL ANSWER lol

just for 1 unit obv..

Sure wished I would have just tailed the trusted Big Ten beat writers who all predicted Penn St here. Just thought they were more evenly matched. Purdue undervalued and Penn st overvalued, guess not. Big Ten is such an anemic conference compared to the SEC and Big 12, shitty and shittier, mediocrity.
