Betting against my alma mater: Week 7

To be honest, I thought this line was a little high, but I said I was going to bet against Purdue every game this season and I am holding myself to it.

The Badgers were favored by 23.5.  On the surface, looking at Purdue’s past performances against the Badgers it was attainable, but I just didn’t think the Badgers were as strong as they have been in past years, and Purdue is simply as equally bad as it has been for 3 years now (Thanks Hazell!).

 

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I was on an airplane and unable to watch the game, but from what I gather, the Boilermakers played somewhat close, keeping it to only 10-7 at the half, but the Badgers pulled away with a couple of touchdowns in the 2nd half.

 

Overall, I am still up around 13 bucks, with 5 games to go. Still need to go 2-3 in the remaining games to guarantee a break even season.
