misteve?? Whats up man? Where have you been?

**bigboydan** · 09-05-06, 09:45 AM

I'm going with OSU on the ML on this one.

**rolemand** · 09-05-06, 10:00 AM

I'm with dan on this one. I'd take OSU on the ML.

**kalmikrazy** · 09-05-06, 12:37 PM

I really like UT (cant believe in saying this) to win this one. Their offense was pretty good and the D was great even though they played a bad team. The OSU D was not that good as you could tell by the number of yards they let NIU rush for. UT uses several different backs so they will always have a fresh RB in the game which could make it a long evening for OSU D. McCoy wont need to pass too much, just enough to keep the OSU D honest. The 1 thing that scares me is that the UT CB who was busted for weed may not play and he was suppose to cover Ginn all game long. If he does not play and the new CB is a lil raw, than Ginn and Smith could hook up a bunch of times.

osu

im on osu ml aswell

I am a Buckeye fan and I say that i can't choose a side no matter how hard a try. If I had to bet I would take the home team but the Bucks are extremely difficult to bet on and they could definitely win this game. So, that being said I just stay far far away from this game. Would like to see others opinions though.

Didn't Ohio St have two turnovers in the red zone in week 1? I seem to remember that, and if so, it doesn't exactly suggest a razor sharp mindset.

Then again, that would create extra focus on correcting the problem. lol

**pags11** · 09-05-06, 02:54 PM

slight lean to OSU and the points, but I'll just be watching this one...

**austintx05** · 09-05-06, 03:02 PM

Texas takes this game

**onlooker** · 09-05-06, 03:10 PM

Texas -2.5.

Get it before it moves to -3.

**imgv94** · 09-05-06, 04:09 PM

Another forum has Ohio St 82-18%.. Line might go -2 or 1.5..

**HAPPY BOY** · 09-05-06, 08:25 PM

leaning on a half time line on ohio st for 3 units.

**Illusion** · 09-05-06, 09:29 PM

I'm still looking at numbers for this one, but I am leaning towards Texas.

**dcheng** · 09-06-06, 03:18 AM

UT goin make it 2 years in a row over the buckeyes

What up, IMGV! I'm back for some football. You might remember that's all I do. Anyway, good to see you here and let's rock this year.

**pags11** · 09-06-06, 11:49 AM

game of the year perhaps?...

**misteve** · 09-06-06, 02:58 PM

I'm really liking OSU +3 at this point.

It very well could be Pags. I just hope we arent all let down and it be a terrible game.

**gummo** · 09-06-06, 07:54 PM

I can't figure out why the line moved at Bodog to OSU +2.5 to OSU +3 -130. It seems like most of the money coming in has been on the buckeyes.

**koko** · 09-06-06, 08:59 PM

Texas suspended starting cornerback Tarell Brown and backup linebacker and special teams player Tyrell Gatewood.

Tarell Brown is a huge loss, as he was the one assigned to cover Ginn.

**rezster** · 09-06-06, 11:22 PM

The books can keep the points...

Im going with the Buckeyes and the ML.

**InSpades** · 09-07-06, 01:19 AM

The Heat might be the biggest factor in this game. Although I can't imagine its cool up in Ohio this time of year.

IS

**pags11** · 09-07-06, 02:51 AM

rester is right here...I think if one is going to play Ohio St. here, they definitely are better off just taking the ML..

**SBR_John** · 09-07-06, 11:28 PM

Texas will win in a bit of a romp.

This is a champion that loves playing in prime time. OSU will play nervous. I look for the defense to create turnovers. Tex 24 - 13

**gtechfan** · 09-08-06, 02:22 AM

i read in another forum that there are key players missing for texas and that there is value on ohio state +3. http://forum.bettingadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=53502

**pags11** · 09-08-06, 03:55 AM

we'll see come Sat. I guess gtechfan...

**sportsfreek** · 09-08-06, 02:44 PM

Taking Ohio St on the ML, Troy Smith has more experience and will lead them to the win.....Ohio St D not bad either.

**SBR_John** · 09-08-06, 05:19 PM

Deafing home crowd, a defense(the same one that throttled them last year) and the pride of a champ just too much for osu in this high pressure tilt. Wont be as close as last year. Tex 24-16.

**pags11** · 09-08-06, 11:49 PM

sounds like the DB being suspended for Texas could definitely have an impact...

**darkghost** · 09-09-06, 09:37 AM

Initially I liked OSU, but I feel Texas & Mack Brown turned the corner last year with that win @ Ohio St. The Texas D limited Ohio St to 255 total offense last year and I expect much the same this year. Texas wins 27-17.

Also, Ohio St is the public's play.

**sjelveh** · 09-09-06, 01:50 PM

1st big game without young last year i thought it was a toss up and took texas ml this year osu ml

**Razz** · 09-10-06, 03:25 AM

Neither one of those teams is worth a damn. If you want to watch some real talent, come with me to Jordan-Hare this weekend and watch two teams that would destroy the Bucks or Horns.

Razz, what is your basis did you see the same game I saw. Who can stop that buckeye thunder? The Answer is nobody.

**pags11** · 09-11-06, 02:09 AM

the fumble by Texas changed the game, but ultimately the more talented team won...
