I go by the consensus lines that the majority of the people can get. The closing line at 95% plus was Texas -9. No, I'm not a mister know it all but I can assure you that when people state factually false information that I will correct it. You said that LSU was a double digit favorite over OSU last year and that couldn't be further from the truth. I am sure it is easier to argue with people who will just believe your statements as gospel but some of us have enough sense to correct your errors.
Polls are meaningless to a handicapper except for the fact that they help create perception, which is wrong most of the time. They are not overrated by the oddsmaker. The line has gone up 7 points in less than a month. I don't care about polls or who is rated what, I care about what the oddsmaker has made the line. As I said, to the oddsmaker they are no longer overrated.
How are they over-rated and that's all I am concerned about. The only one that doesn't have a clue is you and that's been proven about four times in this very thread. I have only had to correct your mis-facts four times so far.
They were #1 before they almost lost to Ohio last week.hno:
Get a clue sonny. That's called being over-rated.
USC might still cover and they might win by 50 but it won't change the fact that the line has moved 7 points in three weeks. How often does that happen? The perception is that USC is so much better because they blew Virginia out and Ohio State struggled against Ohio in a look-ahead game. Personally I don't think that's enough information to judge this game off of. I am not even sure I will play Ohio State but I know I won't be on USC. Why would I want to play the as a double digit favorite now? USC has played one game and looked great against a bad team. That's not enough for me to say this line should be what it is now.
USC doesn't have half the play makers as the Florida or LSU championship teams.
Wells will be fine, he will have 2 full weeks to come back from an ankle injury that isn't very serious.
This like was like 3.5, and what has changed? USC spanked a shitty Virgina team, and OSU was sleep walking though easy games. USC had a bye week to prepare, OSU used ohio as a bye week to prepare for USC.
Plain and simple OSU has a great defense, if they can score 14 points they cover this game.

one other thing to look at ohio state beat youngstown state something like 47-0 well last weekend south dakota state beat youngstown state by almost the same score I think youngstown acually did get a touchdown I think it was like 45-7 so if ohio state is on the same level as sdsu then buckeyes are in some real trouble imo
Nice attempt to cover your mistake. See below - I asked when the last time Tressell was a DD Dog and you responded by asking what I was smoking and said "they were a dd dog to LSU last yr." then put a smiley face. I really don't think that was a typo that you meant they beat LSU by DD when you were responding to me with a question of when was the last time they were a double digit dog. Nice try though.

What are you smoking. They were a dd dog to LSU last yr.hno:
Besides that was the only big game that Tressell has won over the last 5 years.

Most of those consensus line are bullshit. Anyone that has been gambling for many years knows that.
Do you really think that some sportsbook is really going to tell you who the money is on.
The closing line in Vegas might have been -9, but not with every bookie in every state.
All Big books in Pgh had the Steelers a 7-10 pt favorite this week. Offshore and Vegas only 6-6.5
