    Penn State @ Ohio State

    The "Big" game on Saturday, yet everyone seems to be missing the point. Most people expect a close, hard hitting game, being played in typical fall weather in Columbus. That being generally rainy, and miserable. You can argue this game either way. Both sides present valid points. Here is the one thing that the bettors inhere seem to be over looking. It matters not who wins the game. All that matters for most of the bettors in here is who covers. Ohio State has a much tougher job, trying to cover 6 1/2 points, which basically means that they must win by a TD and PAT conversion or more to cover. Ohio State has not been real good covering as a HF, going 7-11 ATS in the past 3 seasons. This season they are currently 2-2 ATS at home. Penn State has not been a dog this season. Last season they were 2-1-1 as a RD. In what could be a close game, Penn State has the advantage, from a gaming point, unless you want to take Ohio State and the ML and give about 2 1/2 to 1. (Ohio State -240 to 250). That is way too much to give considering Ohio State's opponent.

    OSU alum here, flying into Cbus tonight for this all time classic... I would be shocked if this doesn't come down to last possession, no way OSU covers, It would defy logic if they win by more than a FG

    Via weather.com the forecast for Saturday changed from afternoon showers to AM showers. Field may be wet but not that bad with only with rain ending in the afternoon:

    I took a small bet on Penn State +7 when it opened and have had cold feet sense. When the line dropped this week, I was hoping it’d drop enough to middle but that hasn’t happened. If anything it’s heading up
