Interesting Spreads of the Week

Nebraska is giving 2 to Texas A&M.  I can't believe Nebraska is favored over anyone in the Big 12 not the Bears or Clones right now. 

Iowa is a 6.5 point underpup to Purdue.  I would say that we can't stop they're spread offense, and they'll put up a ton of points.  My head tells me the spread should be around 13.5.  That being said, I didn't bet on this game due to Jon's Gambling Rule 1, which states: Never bet on a game that involves a team you're emotionally invested in, unless you bet on your team and are totally prepared to lose the money. 

The Vikings are getting 9.5 from Dallas.  That's a huge spread in the NFL.  Big enough that I broke rule 1.  But, to me, Rule 1 doesn't apply to any NFL games, because although I'm a Viking's fan, I'm not really "emotionally invested".
