Tonight, the Wisconsin Badgers beat the UNLV Rebels, 41-21 and the Rebels covered the spread of 20.5 points, depending on where you bet. You can't say that the Vegas odds makers don't know their craft. (actually, I predicted it as well, but a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in awhile.) The game wasn't that close, but two good defensive plays by the Rebels kept the score close in the first half.
The Las Vegas Sun has a story about tailgating. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/sep/04/economy-high-travel-costs-keep-some-wisconsin-fans/
I listened to part of the Rebel radio play by play and it sounded like a high school game broadcast. The announcers were ok but the sound quality was horrible.
So, the Badgers are 1-0 and Rebels are 0-1 but I think the Rebels will have a pretty good season.

Rebels did win when it comes to the spread, so that makes it a win by Vegas standards.
ReplyDeleteI too think they will have a good season.
Congrats Bucky Badger!
