Yep, agreed.

I haven't heard if Nebraska plans to sit anyone. They have some 'ORs' listed on the preview but the only starter I could possibly see sitting is maybe Pinto at 174 in case they wanted to get a look at DeLeon or super recruit Araujo. The dual should be pretty competitive outside of 141/149/157 where Nebraska should roll. If you made me bet it I'd put a pizza bet on Nebraska as I think they are a little bit better in the coinflip matches outside of 197/285 and even then McDanel has already beaten Sollars.

Penn State opens at -30.5 over Illinois, down to 29.5 already. Seems like a lot if Penn State is missing a couple guys. Would expect no Kerk, Kasak and probably no Davis against Byrd right?

Yep, that looks like BetOnline. 25.5 is a ton.

Cannon was the only guy listed on the probables so I'm guessing it's him: https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/news/2025/2/12/wrestling-no-8-buckeyes-close-out-dual-season-vs-no-1-penn-state-friday-at-covelli I'm probably leaning towards taking the 22.5 at +100 and banking on Davis and Kasak sitting.

@Dogbone something super sick was on Thursday or Friday night DK put out a line for Minny/Purdue where Minnesota was -2.5. The line was completely off and even though my instincts were to bet it right then and there (I have to drive to a gambling legal state) I wasn't feeling great and decided to go to bed and bet it the next day if it was still available. Sure enough, DK pulled it that night lol and reposted it on Saturday with Minny -27.5 or so which was clearly far more accurate. Man, I was really annoyed with myself for not betting that.

Estrada with some nice chirping after the whistle. Should've kept that energy during the match and taken more than one shot. Enjoy that hot L.

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

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

Sure seems that way so far. Lots of fun matches to be had with these guys.

I'm trying to remember the match because I know I watched it on FS1 maybe? Looks like both guys picked up stall calls in the 2nd and Parco got the TD. In the 3rd, Ridge gets a second SW putting Parco up 4-2, Ridge forced a 2nd stall call on Parco making it 4-3. This is the recap from Corn Nation which covers Nebraska: https://www.cornnation.com/2024/2/25/24083233/wrestling-3-nebraska-ends-dual-season-with-26-9-win-over-19-arizona-state After a scoreless first period, Parco wisely chose neutral in the second period. Lovett was warned for stalling for inactivity on the feet before Parco got in on a shot and was able to finish for the takedown and the 3-0 lead. Parco was called for stalling then for dropping down to Lovett’s legs for five seconds before Lovett rolled out for an escape on the restart. In the third, Lovett chose down. After a hard ride from Parco, Lovett was able to nearly get a reversal on the edge but settled for an escape, cutting Parco’s lead to 3-2, but more importantly stopping Parco’s riding time at 59 seconds. Lovett was digging underhooks and looking to score a point on a stall call to tie things, driving Parco to the edge and eventually off the mat. In a wild turn of events, it was Lovett who was called for stalling for pushing Parco out of bounds rather than on Parco for letting himself get pushed out, giving Parco the point to go up 4-2. Lovett did get the stall call on Parco to cut the deficit to 4-3 shortly after, but he still needed a takedown. He wasn’t able to get one, dropping his first match of the season via 4-3 decision.

Hard to argue with Parco's H2H results versus Ridge for sure.

This is pretty close to how I see things. Only difference is I think Nebraska gets one of 149 or 184 so call it 21-13.

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.
