I just edited this into my previous post, but that mvictors link was from 7/14/08. I don't think the odds of winning the BigTen in '09 have been released yet.

Over/Under for wins:

9.5 Ohio St
9.5 Penn St
8.0 Illinois
8.0 Iowa
7.5 Michigan St
7.5 Wisconsin
6.5 Northwestern
6.0 Minnesota
6.0 Michigan
5.5 Purdue

Basically, Vegas thinks all the Big Ten teams but one are going to a bowl? What do they have for the SEC, an over-under of 12 for everyone?

No, those numbers are what Vegas thinks will get the most action.

IE 6 wins over/under for tsun will ideally split the betting public evenly where 50% will bet over and 50% will bet under. That way they make money on the juice no matter who wins and don't get wiped out if one side gets bet heavier than another and wins.

They're predicting betting, not outcomes.

Indiana is missing from that list as well.

I would guess they don't get a whole lot of action on IU football or that everyone is going to take the under.

i didn't see miami of ohio on the list either... probably because they have the same likelyhood of winning the big 10. :p

haha!

Steve Slaton did pretty well in the nfl last year wasnt he considered a "system" player in college?

Actually, he went to the same system he had in college. The Texans run a zone blocking scheme that is identical to RRs.

Holmes Onwukaife, who wanted to commit to UM but was turned down, recently put on a show at FSU's camp, was offered, and has now verballed to them.

Isn't he an OLB? Kind of a position that isn't of need.

 

[jwinslow]

If he's an OLB/spinner, then that's less of a loss. However, they were still recruiting Javarie when Holmes wanted to commit, both of which happened after Wilkins, Paskorz & Kinnard verballed.

If he could be their ILB prospect, the rejection could prove more costly.

Yes, definitely. Kid looks like a solid player. I was kinda hoping UM would offer him. Good luck to the kid though.

I loved Holmes and wanted him in our class, but happened was;

we originally recruited him as an OLB/spinner, same as Wilkins and Paskorz.. However, both of them committed and when he came to the stuff in order to commit, they said we're full at OLB/spinner do u want to come in as an ILB, and he said no. So that was that, best of luck to him at FSU.
