Is that because everyone was picking Northwestern outright, so Vegas is trying to get people to throw their money away and pick Iowa?...............
Either way, Vegas is being shady af with this line.
Vegas has been amazingly correct on Iowa this year
They are 10 point underdogs. They don't need to win by 10 or more to win the best. Northwestern can win by any amount or lose by 9 or less to make moneyNU will probably win the game, but not by 10 or more.
Gimmie two dimes on NW to cover.
NU will probably win the game, but not by 10 or more.

no, he meant 20 centsYeah, I’m sure you’re betting 2k on NW. A lot of big talkers here that never bet jack.
I would’ve thought NW by 5-6.I'm floored it's not the other way around
did these guys happen to go back and look at KF's record against NW in the last decade?
I would’ve thought NW by 5-6.
Yes. And the gamblers determine the odds.You thought that a top 10 Sagarin rated team would be a home dog to a team rated in the last 40’s. Computers determine the odds.

I know. Watch this spread drop hard this week.That’s not how it works. Vegas sets the odds, based on their sophisticated ratings. The line then moves based on the amount of money bet on a specific side in order to entice betting on the other side. Vegas, in a perfect world, would prefer 50/50 betting on each game since that would eliminate any risk.
I would be happy to take NW and bet your pot farm on the gameI know. Watch this spread drop hard this week.
You can’t feed your pigs pot. You’ll probably kill them.I would be happy to take NW and bet your pot farm on the game

Damn, Vegas doesn't know shit. They should have consulted a bunch of pissed off, Iowa fans about what the line should be.

Huh?
Vegas is not in the business of predicting the outcome of games. The are in the gambling business. They set betting lines in an effort to get equal money bet on both sides so they make money on the juice. What is shady about that?
NW has looked much better than Iowa in the last couple of weeks, and they are certainly capable of winning at Kinnick,. NW is most effective when their passing game works, and Iowa has given up a bunch of big plays in the passing game. So why wouldn't NW be favored?
