Prepare for Corrupt Officiating Today

You think the Big 10 wants to chance their basketball darling not getting into the big dance this year?

I'd spot MSU 6 points just from officiating.
 
Vegas agrees with you. The line is currently at Iowa +7.0

I find that very interesting because we split with them this year.

We clobbered them by 20 at home and they beat us by 19 at MSU. The game is now on a neutral site so I would have expected the line to be between 3 and 4 1/2.

Kenpom predicts a 5 point win for MSU.

The really interesting part is that 80% of the betting money against the spread is going on MSU. With such a large line you would think it be closer to 50/50.

Prepare to be screwed early with fouls on Basabe and Cole.

Granted we've lost 6 of our last 7 but of those 6 losses they were by 3, 17, 3, 3, 13, 19 and then the win against #6 Purdue.

LOL really?

MSU is 17-13 (9-9), we are 11-19 (4-14) and you expected the line to be around 4 points? That's just silly.

Do you know anything about betting?

IU is 12-19 (3-15) facing PSU who is 16-13 (9-9). I would say those are about as comparable as you can get to the Iowa v MSU game, right?

PSU is -4.5 favorite.

PSU is getting 65% action against the spread.

So let's see, tighter line and less money against the spread being placed on the favorite.

You connect the dots.

Are you known as Ottumwan in Texas on another board?

I agree with the poster above. With as bad as the officiating is in the B1G, how can you tell if they are intentionally favoring another team?
 
MSU is TERRIBLE against the spread this year winning only 10 ATS. In half of those games they were the underdog.

They lost their last game against a mid-pack Michigan team. We won our last game against the #6 team in the country and Big Ten runner-up.

Where theres smoke theres fire.

I understand a great deal about betting. The sole purpose of the spread is to attempt to achieve a 50-50 balance in bets taken on a particular game

If you can find ten people on the face of the earth that would take Iowa in that game only getting 4 points I'll make out with a dead raccoon.

And to your example above I wouldn't consider that remotely close to the Iowa MSU game especially in the eyes of the sports betting public.
 
It can't be any worse that what happened in the Big East tournament last night. That's lightyears beyond anything I've seen in the B10 this year.

Pretty simple, the majority of the betting public is dumb. They see the name Mich St and bet on them, MSU has gotten the majority of bets in almost every one of their B10 games even though they've been terrible against the spread. The public moved the line on the MSU-Purdue game in East Lansing from Purdue -1 to MSU -1, that was probably the easiest money I've made all year.

If anything, this makes me think the spread should be higher.
