DraftKings NCAA Wrestling Lines 2/6/25

[Dogbone]

FYI, for those who like to participate in gambling legally.  DK has NCAA wrestling lines up for the week.

Rider +7.5 v. Lock Haven

Cleveland State +3.5 v. Edinboro

West Virginia -5.5 v. Utah Valley

Michigan+38.5 v. PSU

Nebraska +6.5 v. Iowa

Disappointing they don't have a line on the OSU/Minn dual. 

Is everyone for PSU going? If they drop 1 match it will be tough to cover that many points, Cardenas could beat Barr as well.   It's tough to bet against PSU, but 38 seems like it may be too many.

What are the odds of someone eating their hat this week?

On the PSU question, that is part of what makes these odds difficult to beat the books. You have one match that is probably 50-50 (Cardenas vs. Barr) and the other possibility that Cael could not wrestle a starter like he did at 133 against Iowa, knowing PSU will still easily win the dual. So, if PSU drops one match it is highly unlikely they cover the 38.5. There is a smaller possibility they could win all 10 weights and still not cover the 38.5.

Iowa opened -5.5 against Nebraska and that seemed worth a shot. If they can win two of the weights between 125-157, gotta like their chances of covering.

Betting wrestling duals without knowing who the starters are is a fool's errand.

Stanford +17.5 seems interesting, but they forfeit 125 and don't match up great at some of the other key weights where they have ranked guys. Still, that is a lot of points to catch in a home dual.

Feel like there’s no Minnesota OSU odds bc both teams have too many probables listed. OSU has backups also listed at 157 and 165 while Minnesota has it at half their weights

I am with you, especially when you throw in the cross country travel and late night start time for the east coast team.  The 125 forfeit sucks tho.

I saw a Minnesota -2.5 line vs Purdue for Sunday for a couple hours and came really, really close to firing a big bet but they pulled it down.

 

On Circa, Iowa is out to -8.5 which is close to what I was hoping to get to back Nebraska.

But it's also the time to get the best action before lines self-correct

Indeed. Last Sunday's Iowa-Maryland dual a prime example. Maryland opened +32.5, and given how Brands has tinkered with his lineup, it was reasonable to think he might do that in a dual he knew Iowa would win. Sure enough, Ayala and Teemer were not in the lineup, which allowed for a sweat-free Maryland win even though Iowa won the toss-up matches at 184 and HWT.

Late adds:

Minnesota -3.5 v. Ohio State

Rutgers-14.5 v. Maryland

Michigan St +12.5 v. NW

UNCO +7.5 v. SDSU

Air Force +9.5 v Utah Valley

Purdue -19.5 v. Wisc

Ore St +3.5 v. Cal Poly

Princeton +10.5 v. Cornell

UNI -30.5 v. NDSU

WV -6.5 v. Wyoming

Interesting line discrepancy on Minny/Ohio State. It's 'pick' on Circa.

That is interesting.  In the OSU/Minnn thread there seems to be talk that Davino is going at 133 for OSU.  If I had access to Circa in my state I would be tempted to try and middle it.

Man, Iowa up to -10, I wonder if people seeing the 'OR' in Nebraska's lineup is driving the action. I ended up backing Nebraska at +9.5
