you dont touch it.
I've got a lot of confidence in BG., and I think if we play as well as we can, then we cover easily. Of course before laying any money on BG, think that Kent State beat us by 35, so imagined how bad tosu would have beaten us on that day. How many ST points do OSU get? Do we still use that retared punt formation? if so, then they may get at least one TD that way. St's cost us the Buffalo game, from what' I've read.

We're 1-4 ATS this year, and we were 3-8 last year. Meanwhile, OSU has covered 12 or 13 spreads in a row.


Why am I leaning towards taking BG in this game? I must be retarded.

Because in all three meetings with BG the Bucks have failed to cover.

I hate to say it, but Tressel has been doing a different coaching job this time around. He has players that are all his (in '03 he had some of Coopers recruits) and they are much better disciplined. Just listen to them talk, in particular Smith. One time will make you think he is Tressel.

Do I want to see beat the spread. Heck yeah! I don't want to see a 35 point loss. I think this BG team is much like the '97 team. This OSU team is MUCH Better than the '97 OSU team.

I'm 71% against the spread this year on picking 105 games... this has won me some nice change... and I'll let you all know later this week which way I go... but my gut says I'm giving the points...

If you can't stop buffalo... you aren't stopping hte buckeyes... BG will have to score on reverses, fake punts, and a WR option.

I think the we can rush the ball and shorten the game..take all 34 1/2 points. We'll hang in there. We are 12th in nation in rushing and OSU is 42nd against the rush. Texas is 14th rushing and they ran for 172 yards against them. OSU is 2nd in turnover margin so we can't turn the ball over and we will be fine.

In what truly counts, yea we won (and we should be glad) but for those of us who put money on BG to cover the 3 TD spread, we lost (even though we won the more important thing)...But my quote was meant it cost us a W in the "ATS" column

Here are the games I really love for this weekend, rolled into a nice little 12-1 parlay.


FSU -10.5 over NC State

Western -3.5 over Ohio (LOVE this game)

Kent -24 over Temple (Temple shouldn't be getting less than 35 against anybody)

Texas -4.5 over OK (Keep Peterson under 2 bills and this one's a rout)

Well, they did score 55 last week. This game is more about NC State than FSU.

I laid off that FSU game, I liked it at first, but there is something with Amato...FSU has the talent to cover easily, but they have JEff Bowden. NC state sucks, but they beat BC, so you never know...the ACC sucks this year all over, be careful betting on them. I was holding my breath for GT+10 against vt, you never know what you are going to get out of Reggie Ball, and what he did last year at LAne was not looking good, and I probably put money on it in part to my hatred of vt, but I breathed easier when Calvin Johnson kept walking into that endzone in the first 5 minutes.


I'm all about the UD this week
Stanford +31.5
SDSU+27.5
OK+5
Northwestern +20.5
Iowa St+7
Indiana +7
Buffalo +4.5
