Therapists tell me it will help
Well.. here are the fears I see from a Rutgers perspective.. posted in another thread.
Last year Indiana played Maryland a lot closer and beat Michigan State. We beat Indiana in a home game by a TD.
Yes, Rutgers is 5-2 and is playing at Indian for a bowl game.. having Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State and Maryland afterward.. this is the "best bet" for that all-important 6th win.
BUT.. Indiana has 2 wins. They have arguably, 3 games at teh end of the season that could be wins for them, assuming the other 2 are out of reach (I forget who.. Wisconsin and someone).
So, THIS game vs Rutgers could be a must-win for Indiana to try for 6 and a bowl game.
I think both sides will be UP for this game. I hope so anyway. I'd rather get that 6th win in a hard-fought game. Earn your way to a bowl game.
Oh.. and I need betting advice.. what's the Cutters' chances this year in the 500?
