nobody is taking into account that this team has not played a single game beyond the PA border. it's Oct 16 and today will be the first time they were on an airplane let alone in a different state.

that plus a horrible offensive line, shaky qb, and basically out-manned in every position? no thanks.

while the nitter fan believes they should have won in regulation last year they were also pretty close to getting blown out and that 2014 team was better defensively than this group that can barely beat army.

don't forget it was 17-0 when OSU threw the pick 6 which completely changed that game. then later they threw another INT which led to the next TD after Bosa took a terrible roughing the passer on 2nd and 20. just like that it was 17-14 and state penn didn't do anything to earn those 14 pts.

that being said who wants to lay 3 TD with this OSU team that sleepwalks through every game? #%()



It should have only been 10-0 heading into halftime as the officials gave OSU outstanding field position with a bogus call then not overturning it saying that the replay booth wasn't getting feed....

OSU was obviously a better team last year, but that's why games are played....and you say penn state didn't do anything to get those points? Playing defense and creating turnovers isn't doing anything? And here I thought defense was a major part of the game ...hmm lol

OSU has yet to show me they are a #1 team. They are a better team than PSU, but almost 3 TD's ? Just be careful, and BOL on whatever you do.

I would be cautious on reverse line move games when the majority is backing the dog, this game has not quite qualified enough for that in my opinion but it does look suspicious. The Michigan game is actually a better example which is why I can't take the Spartans, however this is the third time Michigan has been in this role so far this season and both previous games (Northwestern and BYU) held true to form.

week 1 against VTech

what do i win for getting the question right?? i could use a new dial up modem. i hear they have 56K now!!!!

and the QB got knocked out of the game.

Smart money?

I can point to any number of games where the line moved and the team taking money lost. Sides or totals.

At some point Ohio St will roll someone, so maybe all of the "smart money" will get some of it back this week after losing a lot of it so far with this team.

someone smart bet tOSU yesterday. much like Michigan going from -7 to -10 vs Northwestern
There's nothing like that MOB money coming in. Someone obviously had close connections to one of those teams for the line to move from 7 to 10 that fast. That's a lot of money trading hands.

good luck to all betting this game.. sometimes I am a little hard on the buckeyes as they have not lived up to expectations. Personally would never lay these kind of points on anyone, I play dogs 99.9%. OSU is hurting badly due to injuries @ WR and DB. They have actually played better as of late. As I have said many times their problems are self inflicted and fixable. They are getting close to fixing them on defense, they have had poorly timed breakdowns that have resulted in big play TD's. On offense they are still searching to get in a rhythm, when they do, I think they will be OK. Funny thing is they are deepest @ H Back where Miller is on the field less and less with Samuel ( converted TB ) and wilson.. they have been hard to watch but when they fix things they will be very dangerous because they have talent at just about every position.

as a penn state fan who has attended games at "the shoe" more than once this line make sense for one reason.. 8pm kickoff. if this were a noon or even 3:30 i would lean that penn state could cover. but even being a homer, urban will out coach psu every year as long as jon donovan is calling the offensive plays. it's a no play for me, which really means at 7:55p at the bar ill put in 1 unit on psu!! we are!!

2 yrs ago night game at the Shoe. Similar line-18 OSU rolled to a 63-14 win.
not saying that will happen but you never know. I guess thats why they call it gambling.

I wouldn't put any amount of money on that stiff QB to cover +19 against Ohio St.

It's one thing to be slow and throw bad balls against Purdue etc. but this is an entirely different animal. Remember what Temple did to Hack?

Sharp money is all over OSU in a blowout. Don't overthink this one.

Again, I wouldn't put any of my money on that big stiff Hackenberg.

almost too easy, ohio state should not be favored by 10+ over anybody

possibly the worst #1 team in the past 30 years
Lol may not be playing great but what a stupid statement. I think they have 7 first round draft picks on the team. Hard to think they are the worst #1 team in 30 yrs. oh they did win by 28 and still didn't look good.
