Early betting line, but I bet if Rourke was healthy that line would be double digit. I still can’t see Cig’s squad playing a game at home with just a one score margin, even with our backup QB.
Same betting line IU -6.5 vs Washington
- Thread starter Harry Hondo
- Start date
It was 10.5 on FanDuel last night before Rourke was officially declared out.
Wash is coming off a BYE.
Wash is coming off a BYE.
I have always had good results with Sagarin who is no longer in the USA Today paper. He has IU 11 points better and based on recent performance through all games yesterday, IU is 20 points better than the Dawgs.
UCLA Maryland Northwestern and Nebraska?
Unless I missed one, the mystery number is 4...
UCLA, NW, Nebraska, and Washington...
I can't complain much... I guess that's the tradeoff for having nearly the perfect schedule in terms of tangling with slightly upgraded talent levels each weekend...
At first it looked like the Big Ten front office was purposely trying to screw us but if that was the case they failed miserably...
The only one I truly think they gave any real thought to was serving us up as a sacrificial "Thanks for joining the Big Ten" lamb, as UCLA's home opener... Flipping "the script" on that one was the start of something Big...
The major payoff is that we have a second Bye week this year between the Michigan and "the" o-h-i-o $tate games... That extra week might just give Rourke the time he needs to heal up for our last two games...

The only problem with that is that he would probably pretty rusty in his first game back.
Agree. That seems like the absolute earliest he would be healthy enough to resume throwing based on a quick internet search, which says 4-6 weeks recovery for QB. Playing 5 weeks from now leans optimistic to me.
Washington ,may be coming off a bye, but They played a road game at Iowa last week, so this will be there second consecutive road trip to the midwest in 3 weeks. Those frequent flier miles into different time zones must be getting a little old by now.
I forgot all about the 2nd bye week. That will be a valuable week off.
