Purdue is a night game....

No kidding!

If he pulls off this unthinkable upset there were will a few "told you so" posters that come out of the woodwork

Just think...Purdue's new coach has them as a TD favorite at home vs NU...I guess they took the correct antibiotics to cure them of their toxins

Pretty sure this line means Vegas has an opinion on the game. Purdue -6.5 and -115. Neb +6.5 and +105. Purdue just lost to Rutgers and Neb has name recognition with average bettor. Vegas is begging for money on Neb.

The projected line was in that 6-7 range before they lost to Rutgers. The loss to Rutgers won't have any impact on the smart money.

Pathetic Mike is doing long term damage to our football program. Such behavior needs to be pointed out until action is taken to rid the program of the cancer.

He is gone after the season, get the hell over it.  You're doing more damage to the psyche of this board than he is to the program.

Sharps have been known to bet both ways. Either bet a little too move the line before they load up or bet heavy then buy some back if the line moves a lot.

Wouldn't surprise me if the sharps know a lot of squares will bet Nebraska getting that many points do they're putting a little money down to try to get the line down to 4 or even 3 then load up on Purdue late.

Vegas hasn't been wrong on Nebraska a whole lot this year.

 
Like was talked about in the pre-Rutgers analysis, Nebraska and Purdue are roughly equivalent. The Rutgers game  may have pushed some to realize that but it doesn't have an impact on that analysis. Purdue is still who they were.

We're far enough into the season that ATS (Against The Spread) becomes a stat worth looking at.  A lot of smart bettors wouldn't put money on Nebraska this week because of ATS.  The books may also have adjusted the points up slightly due to the lopsided ATS for the two teams.  Huskers are 2-5 ATS.  Purdue is 5-2.

I would never use such a thing as a consideration. You might as well use trends (like KU-TCU). 

Why? They're contextual. They say something occurred, they don't tell me why it occurred.

It's a sign that the sportsbooks are consistently over or under estimating a given team.  When you have a big difference between the two teams ATS, it's worth considering.

It's statistical noise. They list these numbers for the same reason the roulette wheel lists what numbers previously hit.
