And Iowa now ready to hit +3.
Someone explain.
The ESPN and VSIN type guest pickers I heard today had no explanation. Usually they are the ones that are all over the weird line and side.
From what I heard today, sounds like the sharps like Iowa but public moving Wisconsin due to the first two games of the year? That was pretty much all they had to say on it. Both Bear and VSIN guy said they didn't understand it. Find that hard to believe really. It can't still be people thinking Wisconsin from ILL or MICH is relevant here, think it actually has more to do with NW and IU games.
First off, I like Iowa because it is the most logical side based on results.
But if you dig a little deeper, Iowa did have some games they won where they looked more impressive in the final than how the game unfolded (Min and PSU) and consider Nebraska pretty much was right there with them and then they let Illinois get up 14-0 on them? Add it up, maybe enough chinks in the armor to sell Iowa?
For Wisconsin, it is a stretch to say they have played
a lot better than their finals vs NW and IND show, but it is true they did play
somewhat better in both than the final implies. They move the ball, they can't finish. In both games. And their D has been stout in both games. D that has been good enough to win with just a little more finish out of their O.
So what happens here? If Wisconsin moves it atleast as good as they did vs NW and IND and IF, IF, they can finish the drives for FGs or TDs they could be in position to win this. Remember Iowa QB sometimes shaky.
Now with all that said, at this moment in time, I would want to bet Iowa. But that is my best effort to explain what I think could be going on for some betting and moving line towards Wisconsin.
