How many regular season football games will Minnesota win in 2008?

[BB73]

This bet will be settled after Nov 22nd - the bowl game does NOT count.

They went 1-11 last year. They are now 6-1 with these 5 games left.

Oct. 18th - bye week (they don't get any credit for not losing to BYE)

Oct. 25th - at Purdue

Nov. 01st - Northwesterm

Nov. 08th - TSUN

Nov. 15th - at Wisconsin

Nov 22nd - Iowa

Wow, Minnesota really lucked out. Their schedule is full of teams that are down.

at Purdue - W
Northwestern - W
TSUN - W!!!
at Wisconsin - L
Iowa - W

Giving them 10-2.

Bump to be seen above all the game bets.

No but Charlie Weis gets credit for almost beating BYE.

The road game at Wisconsin is the only test left, and the Badgers are clearly going the wrong direction. Even without the recent implosion, I'm not sure if Minnesota isn't the superior team anyway. The fact it's a road game, and a trinket/rivalry game makes it a toss up.

That Wisky game is the only one I'm questioning. I think they handle the others, making them no worse than 10-2.

Could Minnesota go from 1-11 to 11-1?

I think they lose to Iowa or Northwestern, and Wisconsin, so I have 9.
