Iowa is an 11 1/2-point favorite at Northwestern

I keep trying. I mention Wynn Las Vegas here. Yet Steve Wynn never recripocates my generous free plugs.

Why keep doing good deeds for gaming industry tycoons if there is no reward in doing so???

But let's do this again, anyway. Wynn Las Vegas has Iowa as an 11.5-point favorite at Northwestern Saturday. Wynn set the line for the game at Iowa -10.5 Sunday at 6:12 p.m., Pacific time. Bettors swooped in, wagering on the Hawkeyes. The number was bumped to -11 at 7:58 and -11.5 at 9:09.

Seems like a lot to me, but if what do I care? Hlastradamus will tell me which way the wind is blowing later in the week, if you get my drift.

If one of Steve Wynn's colleagues would pass this post on to him and encourage him to, you know, show his thanks ... that would be lovely.
