I think OSU will struggle to score because when they have played a good defense they have struggled to score. The USC game doesnt fully count because beckman started, but still 3 points?

Long layoffs favor good defenses, I really want to like OSU here but i just dont.

I am going against the line movement tonight sharp, and im worried about it, but i dont believe in ohio state at all.

please don't let your money burn on texas. think about this. texas averages 46 pts per game. osu averages 28. the total is only at 52. why? because osu's defense lets up 13 pts/game. if vegas didn't think osu could stop texas the total would be in the high 50s low 60s. i also can't stress enough the reverse line movement here.

i'm starting my week off with a bang. osu large
the under - small  romo

I'm not so certain Texas would beat USC. And I don't believe in would've or could've(s). To say Texas WOULD beat USC by 2 td's is rediculous. At least in my opinion (and many others). Good luck tonight though.

begreen - you do what you feel is right... if that's your lean, than pull the trigger... good luck with what you decide.  This is not a strong play for me.   Sharp

lots of posts on here.  some with good info.  others are useless. 

i definitely think this one stays close.  i can see it going either way with texas blowing them out or ohio st. winning SU.  neither would surprise me.  with that being said, there is great value in the ohio st. ML.  i honsetly think they can pull off the upset.  with a gun to my head, i'd take texas to win, but when i'm getting the value of +275 with a team that i think can hang in there and possibly pull off the upset, then ohio st. SU (small) it is.  GL

Ohio State lost by 3 to Penn State
 
and got blown out by arguably the best team in the nation.... USC (without Beanie Wells)......
 
More than a touchdown is too much.  I'll take those 8 points with a team that would not be surprising to see win straight up!

I think Texas believes they should be in the national championship game. They will come out strong, and will not let up!
 
Texas -8

Just a hunch but taking Ohio State +10, too many people riding Texas. It would be too easy to take the favorite--just not possible.

"The Longhorns aren't happy to be in Glendale"

I keep hearing this from ESPN and other sources..

This is the same thing they said about USC going to the ROSE BOWL.

Good Luck All.

Non call - pass interference...all good though. Opening series for Bucks show me they can exploit that secondary....and will.

Good luck to you too Pronk......Glad you're on the other bench in this one.....Wouldn't be any fun if we were on the same side......
 
Just don't think Buckeyes can muster necessary offense against these Horns......Me and Bosworth just hate the vomit-orange....

Hey guys, just got home from a nice dinner and tuning in.  After a splendid weekend going 6-0 on the NFL I have an interesting deal tonight.  I bet Texas -7 very early last week from one of my bookies and got Ohio State +10.5 (bought a half point and trying to middle this thing.  Therefore I can relax and enjoy the game and the worst I can do is lose the juice.  Best to all of you!
