OSU has gone from a 3 point fave before the game to a 3 point dog at halftime in Vegas' minds.
Hawks are the play here.

but ur reasoning of was -3 and now +3 kinda makes no sense. they are down by 4 at halftime, what line did u expect them to put out 2nd half? -3?

Have Iowa for the game but have a feeling Ohio St roles in 2nd half will have large play on them here.

OSU's down 4.
They should be -4 or -5 2H, since they were -3 to start the game.

Notice Pinny's keeping the line at +1.
I'm telling you -- Iowa is the play.

If they did that, people who are on buckeyes, can basically hedge with a Iowa 2nd half play cuz most likely if buckeyes cover 2nd half, they'll win by at least 3 or more.

There have been 10 points scored in this game.
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
Given OSU is a 2H team, it absolutely made sense that they'd be -3 or 4.

If vegas thought osu was going to win, they would have made the line 3. It's really as simple as that. The books obviously think Iowa will pull through but we'll see how the second half goes.

This.
I'm just saying Iowa was the play. I'm not saying it's a guarantee.

I still don't understand what you were saying here.
If oddsmakers still believed in their OSU -3 line, knowing that OSU is a 2H team, why would they only be -1 in the 2H when down 4 at half?

ur not understanding what im saying nocoin. Say they did beleive Iowa was gonna win, they wouldnt make the line buckeyes -4 or -5 2nd half because they were thinking the "scared buckeye ticket holders" would hedge off and take Iowa +5 2nd half just to try to hedge, and like i said, if Ohio wins, it will be by at least 3 or more. Do u get what im saying now?
