    Why is Ohio State only -5.5 at Northwestern???

    Seriously...

    i know they are coming off a big game and this a road game but less than a TD ??

    Ohio State will probably have more fans there no?

    It's the Night ABC game on the road. Weird things happen. Northwestern is pretty solid as it is, but yeah OSU will have at least 40% of the crowd I think.

    Cause the books want you to think it's an easy game. Then NW shows up and wins outright.

    Why would Ohio State have more fans there? 5.5 isn't crazy though. OSU was only 6.5 home vs. Wisky. NW not far behind Wisky.

    Northwestern is good, certainly Ohio State is better. Weird things do happen though. Such a tough call. I'm thinking the points probably won't decide it. Either NW wins outright or OSU steamrolls. No clue which will happen.

    OSU always has the weakest schedule of any team.

    I do like NW + the points at home but I am in no rush to bet it (unless they are betting Ohio st)

    I would imagine this game has a shot to reach +7 if you give it time.

    If it does hit 7 then I WILL be playing NW. Until it reaches 7 I believe the line is accurate thus not much of an edge.

    the line wont go up, youre going to see RLM on this game. public will be all over OSU and the line will close around 4 im guessing

    This definitely could happen but since its laying on a dead number (5) still in no rush to play NW with what I assume will be a landslide of OSU bets / parlays/ and especially teasers. If it does go down to 4ish I would just pass on the game.

    NW will not win the game, but it would not surprise me at all if this ends up a 27-24 type game .

    I would tease up NW to +11.5 and count it as a lock

    and coming from a guy who posted and made his single biggest solo college play on Buckeyes -6.5 vs Wisky

    what do you think it would be if ohio state was the home team?

    about 11.5?

    yea, thats why they are 5.5 here.

    if your looking for a home dog i think Tenn +10.5 is probably a better bet.

    The Vols have a pretty intimidating stadium and Gurley may be out right?

    Nah... they still have too many issues with their D. But that's just my opinion. I focus more on NFL teams than college.

    But seems like a lot of split views so maybe the best bet is to just avoid the game.
