Betting line for RU-Minnesota not set yet due to Minn QB injury

[brodo]

The Minnesota QB Mitch Leidner was injured the game before last and sat out yesterday's game vs. Maryland. I googled him and found that some people see him as this year's Carson Wentz, who QB'd at FCS North Dakota State University and ended up being the 2nd overall pick in the NFL Draft.

Illinois' Chayce Crouch isn't the Fighting Illini's
regular starter ,Wes Lunt is , and led Illinois to victory over RU with Lunt out.

Don't know if Lunt being out affected the opening line of the RU -Illinois game but Crouch did start against Purdue so line probably was based on Lunt being out for the Rutgers game.

I predict Minny -13.

 

[ruthetiger]

-15

 

[RutgersRaRa]

-15

I think it will open slightly lower simply because the bookies will factor in fewer TOs for us. But if it opened -19 I wouldn't be surprised just because the perception is that we blow so bad that they need to give those kinds of points to get people to bet.

I'd say -17 with an asterisk stating with the normal qb it would've been 21+. This is another don't get blown out game. I can see Minn scoring 35+ and maybe we can score a few times too.

Our only common opponent, Iowa, beat both of us by identical 14-7 scores. Should be a tos-up, no? :>)

Nobody around here wants to hear it, but their likely starting QB, Conor Rhoda, had ZERO offers out of college, walked on to Minnesota in 2013, and just earned a scholarship this spring.

Leidner is a decent QB

He's also no 1st rounder.

I wanna hear it. Me likey.

I wanna hear it too, but I will feel even worse if we lose to a walk-on QB. I'd like to think this game is winnable, but I just don't know.

 

[bac2therac]

it will probably be -17

Sadly,Rutgers has a history of making unknown opposing quarterbacks all americans .

Whatever it is bet the rent on the other team.
