At 250/1, I am certainly tempted

That should tell you all you need to know about how "Vegas" works. Basically, they have to produce higher odds (not that I would take it) to get the Homers to bet it. Meanwhile, on something more realistic like overall wins...we're in the middle'ish of the B10. That's probably a truer gauge of where they really think IU will finish.
 
Nothing realistic. I have a tough time with the really long shot bets — tough for me to grasp.

I’d like to see the odds for 6, 7, or 8 wins. That could be interesting.

I hope to bet a lot of IU games this year if the lines underestimate Cig.
Was in Vegas last week for work...looked at 2 different books and both had 5.5 wins as the over/under on for IU. Can't remember all the teams below us, but it basically put us mid-pack in the B10.
 
250 to 1 to win the Big Ten vs OSU, UM, PSU, Oregon, UW etc etc. ???
I ”might” be tempted at 25,000 to 1 but no way at 250 to 1.
I love the Cig hire, big time, but the kool-aid is getting a bit strong.
