Ohio State opens 4.5 favorite this weekend.

  • Some early lines, and Ohio State is 4.5 favorite over Michigan, I think we cover.

    UCLA 1.5 favorite at home over Stanford.
    Penn State at home, 2.5 favorite over Wisconsin.
    Oregon 12 on the road over Oregon State. I actually think Oregon State beats them.
    Nebraksa 14 point favorite over Iowa on the road. Maybe the easiest money of the weekend, Iowa has the worse and slowest defense I have watched in years, blown coverages everywhere and missed assignments galore vs. a powerful offense. Iowa's offense is horrendous as well.
    Michigan has struggled to score against the better teams on their schedule, and piled numbers up against the stiffs all years.
    The good offenses like Bama, Air Force, Nebraska and Northwestern have gouged them in the open field and moved the ball pretty easily.
    OSU defense has improved leaps and bounds, and I do not expect a two bad offensive game plans in a row.
    Ohio State by 17 IMHO this weekend.
    Penn State and Wisconsin beat up the bad teams almost like UofM and struggled against good teams, and we beat both of them on their home fields.

  • There is a bit of chance Urban's strategy mirrors ole Woody and Earle (his mentor)....uber vanilla gameplan the week prior to The Game.

    Could be.
    Pelini, Martinez and that offense has to be smiling ear to ear to face the slowest and worse defense in the Big Ten, possibly the country, in Iowa to close out the Big Ten title game.
    Nebraska should crush Iowa, they are absolutely pathetic.

  • Quickly went up to 5.5 and 6 in some places. Number of times the line goes right up after being introduced and the favorite loses (outright, not vs. the spread): VERY few.
