Friday throw down!

iowa +4.5

Iowa has won 10 of its last 12 games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
Wisconsin has lost each of its last three games against Conference opponents.
Wisconsin has lost the first half in three of its last four night games

Minnesota Golden Gophers -9
Minnesota defense surrenders 17.5 points good for 10th & only allow 290.9 total yards per game good for 5th
Minnesota led by senior QB Max Brosmer, who has completed 67% of his passes for over 2600 yards
Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck always has team well prepared as they won seven consecutive bowl appearances
Hokies have mile long list of opt outs and injuries

Chicago Blackhawks ML +117, Seems like a good spot to back Chicago who plays much better at home and fade Montreal who’s in the middle of an insane road trip right now zipping around to all corners of the country.

Ohio State -1.5 -112…Buckeyes hot winning 3 in a row including 20 point win vs Kentucky at neutral site…Bruce Thornton and Devin Royal both averaging over 19 a game…always extremely tough to win on road in Big10 and freshman PG Jeremy Fears first big test on the road…old adage from years ago…take unranked home team that is favored over ranked team…we’ll see if it works in 2025…lol

Siena -3.5..much better team laying short price, my line came 6 so good spot to get on board before the line moves ups....GLA!

TX St (-13.5)...this is simply a play against NTX. NTX has been hit hard with the portal. Starting QB Morris is gone and as has been the case throughout this bowl season, teams missing their QB due to opt out/portal are basically winless against the spread (only one close was Louisville depending on what line you got). The same can also be said for backing MN tonight and Buffalo tomorrow.

Minnesota-9
. M. Brosmer is a good QB, and will throw the ball to D. Jackson alot and cover the points

Texas State -14

North Texas was hit hard by the transfer portal including losing their qb. Freshman qb will be start that has throw only 5 passes all year, take Texas State in a blowout

Bos under 220.5 there is something fishy about this over under last night‘s over under was 217 and flew over the total and then tonight they come in the Houston to play and the total is only 220.5. I see this being a defensive battle as we have tight legs under.

Minn -9.5
Minn has won 7 Bowl games in a row, longest streak in the nation. VT has too many players out on both sides of the football, I think Minn will be more motivated and can cover the large number. Good luck

Ohio St ML -145

Ohio St is an unranked team giving a ranked team pts system has been pretty good for a # of yrs and it’s off to a good start this yr

CBB Ohio St. -2

Ohio St. is 3-2 straight up and 4-1 ATS vs Michigan St. in the last 5 games played against each other.

NHL Nashville Predators -174

Canucks lost tough game last night in a SO in Vegas, and the Predators are well rested (played last game on Tuesday)

Minn -10. Two teams going in different directions down the stretch, combined with opt outs for Va make this a blowout

Over 65 Texas St/North Texas

Neither defense is very good. Both teams will score at Will.
Over has hit on majority of both teams games.
Both teams avg 34 and 37 points per game.
Both teams avg almost 500 yards per game.
Could be in the 80’s! Over the total

Wisconsin -6.5

Home court advantage is huge for Wisconsin, think they get the cover with their defense and 3 pt shooting

Jumping on the Gopher bandwagon
Gophers -9.5

Minnesota has won 5 of 7 with one loss being to Penn State by 1 point. VT has lost 4 of last 7. The ACC is 2-10 straight up in bowls. The Big Ten is 8-5 while playing harder teams. This Minnesota team can run and throw. Look from then to win by at least 2 TD’s.

Cbb
St Louis-2
St Louis has really struggled on the road this year but come home tonight and should cover.
