RU 12.5 PT underdog at Purdue

[Zak57]

Lot more than I thought it would be

 

[Zak57]

Will also say they must not think Ron is going to play.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Wow. That’s a lot

 

[Kbee3]

Will also say they must not think Ron is going to play.

Let's see which way the line moves.

 

[Miggins]

Yes been noticing that the lines have been nearly identical to KemPom even in the last few games not giving ANY weight to RU recent performance (ie recent play well above KemPom average)

This game worse then KemPom I think means they think Harper is out

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

This 12.5 line was out last night and Sweet Pea used it in his pick.

 

[The RUT]

Way more than I thought, I have a hefty amount on it with a ML sprinkle

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Yikes. Vegas giving us no shot. We’ll see.

 

[RU848789]

good... should help the team stay hungry... chip on the shoulder is good...

 

[njrexguy]

Probably about right. Even with a healthy Ron, Mackey is a worse place to play than even the RAC for visitors.

A win tomorrow is a real stretch no matter how well we have been of late.

 

[zebnatto]

I always check the line but avoid betting basketball/

72-55, scrubs come in w 2-3 mins left: Final Score 73-64.
70-63 , 2-3 mins left, team w 63 fouls, fouls, fouls: Final score: 78-66.

Mackey is not worse than the RAC

 

[rob kight]

When we beat them in December, we were minus Geo and Pike was still experimenting by playing the whole bench. Ron was playing great and Mag had a very good offensive 1st half. Caleb was very good both ways. Cliff was not the current Cliff. Trevian was a bigger problem to contain than Edey This was game Edey knocked out Cliff and refs called foul on RU. If Ref's call a fair game and Ron plays I like our chances

 

[zebnatto]

Would you take RU -3 for a +700 moneyline?

Fail

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I agree that’s an awful lot of points. I’m surprised..still no respect. Good bulletin board material I suppose.

 

[rutcor]

For us it is.

 

[Eagleton95.99]

At first glance it seems like way too many points. But…Status of Harper uncertain. Maybe RU due for a letdown. I don’t gamble for a reason.

 

[Ruthinking]

Yikes. Vegas giving us no shot. We’ll see.

They gave us no shot against Wisconsin last week.

 

[fluoxetine]

Would you take RU -3 for a +700 moneyline?

Probably not

 

[GORU2014]

For us it is.

We haven’t lost there in 2 years so maybe it’s the exception for us. Or we’ll lose by 40, I’ve stopped trying to understand

 

[ScarletDave]

Harper scored 30 points last game against Purdue, that might not be even enough. Or we go lights out and beat THEM by 10+

Completely different team and game last time around. There’s really no true point of reference on how we’ll do.

Paul played 29 minutes and had 0 points on 5 attempts last game. That’s not going to happen tomorrow.

Reiber played 3 minutes. Doubt that happens again.

Mag played 29 minutes. That won’t happen.

Geo was out, obviously he’ll be getting 30 minutes or so.

Yeah, a lot has changed since the last time we played them. This is a tough one to call, but there are 2 main things I'm looking at:

1. RHJ's status - Even if he can go, doubt he's 100%

2. The way both teams have played recently - If trends continue, it looks good for RU.

Ron's health is a huge wild card.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Oregon was +12.5 @ Arizona. 81-84
They gained 9:in the NET, 72 to 63.
The line is down to +12, we play close or pull off the upset.
Our jump will be to the 60s as well.

 

[NickRU714]

Would you take RU -3 for a +700 moneyline?

No.
Last I saw the Rutgers moneyline it was +575
I would just take that instead of an alternate spread of RU -3 at +700.

But I don't bet alot so the small difference in odds doesn't add much money.
I'd rather bet Rutgers to just win.

 

[RU to the Core]

I never ever bet. I did this game. Moneyline Rutgers which is a gamble and took Rutgers with the spread as a hedge. No way we lose by that many points even if Harper doesn’t play. Vegas doesn’t know this team.
