Forgive me if already posted (I haven't seen one yet) but does anyone here have thoughts on the spread? I think I saw that Rutgers is now favored by 2.5 (9/08). As of last night, it was just 2 pts.

Do you think the line will move much more between now and Saturday? Do you think the spread is just about right where it should be?

Discuss.

This is the type of game I might lay a little on some alternate spreads- RU -9.5, -13.5, etc

I'm partial to pimento cheese spread. But I've lived in North Cackolaky for four decades.

I think the line is off by 5-7 points but im not sure in which direction. We're either able to curbstomp anyone out of our conference, or last week was a fluke and we're not going to perform nearly as well on the road. Either of these two if right mean it's not decided by a FG.

Not big on betting, but too much uncertainty on both teams to have an accurate spread, especially with the game at the Dome. Neither team overwhelmed their mediocre opponent on offense, and both played well on defense.

If the game where at SHI stadium, would seem a 7-10 pt spread would be more appropriate.

Vedral needs to be better than week one. If that’s the case we cover. If he plays like he did against Temple, it’s a coin flip.

It would take major news to move the spread past a "football number" like 3. It's already Thursday. Don't expect much more movement. If you think the line is off by 5, play the alternate lines and make a killing. It's also a good way to get humbled.

I agree with AZ, except for one thing.

If our D and ST can be a big difference-maker, I believe we will win comfortably, even if we can’t throw the ball downfield. I think our D and ST will be B1G!

I think the Dome home probably counts a little more than the typical home game points. So I think it added 6 or 7 points onto the Fruit. Saying this another way, I think we're 9-10 point fav if played at a neutral site. So -2.5 at their Dome seems about right to me.

I just didn't quite understand the passing gameplan last week. If the point was to ease (everyone) back in Week 1 against an outmatched opponent, that's understandable I guess (i.e. minimize big stupid mistakes and concentrate the passing game to short yardage plays, etc.). Although, it really did seem like they were playing Vedral with kid gloves. He's an experienced upper classman. I would've imagined that would've played into decision-making.

Might point is - without a better understanding of what he was able to do last year, and what he's still capable of doing this year, we're kinda' right back where we were in Week 1. Hopefully, Gleeson and the Offensive Coaching staff have worked with him and everyone feels more comfortable (and that we destroy Syracuse with an awesome - and completely unexpected - passing attack).
