1-8 Northwestern can still win the Big Ten

If every result were 50/50 the odds of all of them are 0.0000335. (335 in 10 million) maybe later I will do them in more detail
What are the odds we beat Minnesota?

I just checked ESPN and they’re giving us a 8.5% probability to win as 17.5 point dogs.

So if we played them 200 times, we’d win 17.

Per ESPN, we have a 14.4% probability of beating Purdue; 18.5% to beat Illinois.

Does that reduce your calculated probability to 0.00000014?
 
Yes, I can now help out with the new stadium.😊
If you did win the lotto, please just deal with the staff.

Since you’re on the west coast, perhaps you could get McVay to consider NU when he retires from the Rams job? With bags of cash?

I think he was on one of the Miami OHs teams that beat us. So maybe we can talk him into it, hiring Redhawks who have beaten us before has worked out well.

0.000000527. 5 out of 10 million. NU is just .0022 to hold up its end

ESPN was definitely charitable to NU there.
