Las Vegas - Droppin' some love on Lovie and buying Illinois +16 points over Iowa. Sure the Hawkeyes posted a YUGE win, spoiling Minnesota's perfect season with a 23-19 W. But did you see the celebration on the field at the end of the game. Did you see Iowa parading around the field with Floyd of Rosedale? Okay, Floyd is a freakin' PIG. And why F of R? Well the Floyd part comes from the Minnesota governor back in the day, Floyd Olson, who suggested they bet a pig on the outcome of this rivalry with Iowa. The Rosedale comes from the farm in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Now that you're caught up, back to biz. So with all the hubbub surrounding Floyd, and the crazy after-parties, we're thinking that the Hawkeyes are gonna be a little chill in a game they know is probably an easy win. And why not. Last season, Iowa went to Champaign and EMBARRASSED the Illini, HUMILIATED the Illini, feeding them a 63-0 BAGEL! Yea, SIXTY THREE to ZIPPO! Lovie's kids have improved dramatically, winning four in a row and rolling in with a 5-0 spread perfecto. Lovie already has Illinois lined up for a bowl game, but REVENGE is the order of the day. Might not be an outright W for the visitors, but with this generous double digit spread, and a week off, a cover should be a piece of 16 layer cake.

If you need some hoops, try Yale +16 at Penn State.

And finally, we put on the gloves and step inside the ring for the Deontay Wilder/Luis Ortiz fight tonight. Deontay, or, the Bronze Bomber, is a YUGE favorite at -$700, and we're not gonna mess with that noise. However, we will take a round prop, and throw down some green on Wilder to win in the 1st round at 16/1.
