Four big duals and and the battle for the top seed at Big Ten's 133 highlight the odds this week.
All the offerings on BetDSI are for individual matchups.
But before we dive into them, let's look at last week's results vs. the spread.
Sebastian Rivera -2 Rayvon Foley
Result: Rivera rolled up Rayvon 13-3
Minnesota +1.5 Nebraska
Result: If you took the points you were probably feeling pretty good when Mikey Labriola was trailing Skatzka in the 3rd. But a six point play gave him the win and Nebraska took the dual by 3.
Penn State -3 Ohio State
Result: Everyone I know that went through the lineup had this as a PSU win by a point or two. But the Lions seem to up their game for the Buckeyes and upsets in the first two bouts of the night spelled a route. 28-9 for PSU.
Nick Lee +4.5 Joey McKenna
Result: Lee by dec.
Shakur Rasheed +6 Myles Martin
Result: No Action
Bo Nickal -6 Kollin Moore
Result: Nickal by fall.
Patrick Glory Pick Em Vito Arujau
Result: Arujau, dominantly and by fall.
Sebastian Rivera -4 Drew Mattin
Result: No Action
Ryan Deakin -1.5 Alec Pantaleo
Result: Deakin, 11-9
This Week
Saturday
Oklahoma State at Missouri
#3-Daton Fix -2.5 #10-John Erneste
The Skinny: Erneste opened at +3.5. Early money is on him. And to that narrative, Daton has wrestled some close bouts against Top 10 guys. Daton clearly the favorite, but by how much?
#4-Kaden Gfeller -2.5 #9-Brock Mauller
The Skinny: One of these guys has one loss. One of them has two. Talk about a low key important bout. G's only losses are to the #1 and #2 guy in the country. Mauller only lost to #15-Jarrett Degen and has beaten both Josh Maruca and Max Thomsen in the last 30 days. Not too shabby for a true freshmen.
Joe Smith + 2.5 Daniel Lewis
The Skinny: Lewis opened at -3, which means people have already taken him rather heavily. Most likely because of his pin over returning NCAA Champ, Zahid last week. Joe should be right there with him on their feet - perhaps even superior. But can he stay out of danger underneath against one of the country's premier turners?
Sunday
Michigan at Rutgers
#1-Stevan Micic -1.5 #4-Nick Suriano
The Skinny: Micic opened at -2, so early money is on Nick. Suriano doesn't has a history of losing big. Of Nick's four career losses just one (to Spencer Lee in NCAA finals) was by more than two points. On the flip side, Micic's closest bout this year was a four point decision.
Penn State at Illinois | LIVE ON FLO
#9-Roman Bravo-Young -4.5 Dylan Duncan
The Skinny: RBY is coming off the biggest win of his career - a methodical OT rideout over #6-Pletcher. Duncan is unranked with a pedestrian 10-9 record. However, he's wrestled both Lizak (12-9) and Pletcher (3-2) tough recently.
#2-Nick Lee -1.5 #5-Mikey Carr
The Skinny: Carr's only loss on the year came in the first match of the season, 12-10 to Jaydin Eierman in a match Carr lead big early. Lee's only blemish this season is a goofy 12-10 OT loss to Tristan Moran. And he's coming off a win over Joey McKenna, who some had as a finalist contender.
In their only meeting, Carr beat Lee 10-6 at Big Tens where Carr rode Lee very effectively.
Nebraska at Ohio State | LIVE ON FLO
#2-Tyler Berger -3.5 #8-Ke-Shawn Hayes
The Skinny: Interesting line here. And it opened at 3. While Berger owns the #2 spot with just one loss, he's been really keeping things close to the vest. His last two bouts were 3-1 OT wins. While Ke-Shawn is just 3-4 in his last seven bouts, all three of those losses were to Top 5 guys.
#9-Mikey Labriola -2.5 #18-Ethan Smith
The Skinny: The line opened at 2. Labs is 20-4 and coming off a scare to Devin Skatzka. Ethan Smith was just put into the starting line-up a couple weeks ago. He's been very solid at 14-6 and owns a win over Ryan Christensen who beat Labriola this year.
Iowa at Wisconsin | LIVE ON FLO
#18-Max Murin +1 #8-Tristan Moran
The Skinny: This opened at 1.5, and has now been bet down to essentially a Pick Em with the early money on Murin. It's a very odd bout. Murin has struggled to pull the trigger but Moran has always been a guy that doesn't much mind if you shoot. Murin should find opportunities. What ensues is the question and Moran is a funky puzzle.
#2-Alex Marinelli -1.5 #3-Evan Wick
The Skinny: The Bull is undefeated, Wick has one loss - to The Bull in Midlands finals, 4-3. Wick won their only other meeting 16-3 at NCAA's last year. One of the week's best bouts.
#8-Sam Stoll -1.5 #6-Trent Hillger
The Skinny: Alright, so we all know Big Sammy. He's been dealing with bad knees. But he has just one loss (to David Jensen). Hillger has been a great freshman heavyweight. He's 18-4 with losses only to guys in the Top 11. On one hand, this would represent Hillger's biggest win. On the other, Hillger is very good on top which caused Stoll's trouble in the Jensen bout.
