Vegas has released their updated 2018 Big Ten Championship odds.
The good news? Purdue has a much better chance of winning the Big Ten than Indiana or Maryland (300/1).
They leave Illinois and Rutgers (1,000/1) in their dust.
Even Minnesota (100/1) is rowing the boat to lower odds.
The bad news is Vegas only gives Purdue 80/1 odds; the same as Northwestern.
The clear favorites according to Vegas are Ohio State (10/11) with Wisconson (5/2) and Michigan (4/1) being the other two teams with favorable odds.
The frustrating thing is that a team with a new head coach (Nebraska) and another with a program that looked lost last season (Iowa) has significantly better odds of winning the Big Ten Championship than Purdue at 40/1.
