Value In This Bet?

Howdy, all ~~

Intertops is showing Northwestern, a 5.5 point home dog to Penn State, with a win line of +180. I know Northwestern is its typical mediocre-to-poor self this year, but it almost seems be that Penn State is even worse. Penn State has won two games this year, against Temple and Kent. On the whole, Penn State has lost to better teams than Northwestern, but Northwestern did beat Wisconsin a couple weeks ago.

Recognizing well that taking Northwestern to win is an extremely risky move, are the near 2-1 odds you'd be getting that Northwestern can beat another lousy team worth the risk? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I'm no sports bettor, but I would have to say a team that is less than a six point underdog is well worth a +180 play here. It makes sense, but hopefully the real experts will answer your question.
