I want to take Arkansas big, BUT

[No coincidences]

75-80% of the public is on the Razorbacks ML, depending on where you look.

50-60% is on Arkansas plus the points.

Line opened at -2.5 in favor of Ohio State, and is now -3.5 at some shops?

Razorbacks are a public play, and worse, a public dog. If I don't see the sharp books scale back the Ohio State ML, I may lay off.

[texhooper]

oh well. hogs win. who gives a f*ck about all that other shit, books aren't gonna give anything away with trademark line moves in a hugely wagered upon bowl game, you just gotta go with what you know dude. hogs...win...outright.

[beerman2619]

alot of the public was on Stanford tonight also.

[Cuse0323]

Same things going through my head. Big 10 has laid an egg, Arkansas seems like easy money but Ohio State is on a different level. Tough game to pick.

[Cuse0323]

alot of the public was on Stanford tonight also.

and how often does the public win

[No coincidences]

alot of the public was on Stanford tonight also.

Line moved accordingly.

Stanford opened at -1 and was immediately pounded up to -3.

I may just take tomorrow off, given I'm going to lay the hammer with Middle Tennessee State on Wednesday.

Mallett is the key, and the guy worries me -- especially at crunch time. All the talent in the world, but he always seems to make the one bad throw that costs Arkansas.

leaning heavy on the over 57 here, I feel it'll get driven up to 59-60 by tomorrow so it's safe to say you should lock it in tonight if you like it

On a different level from what? THE Ohio State is THE most overrated team every year. They always prove it in their bowl games and people never learn.

I hate Ohio State but they came up big last year in the Rose Bowl.

I meant that Ohio State is on a different level from other Big 10 teams that flopped in bowls, besides maybe Wisconsin who barely lost to an undefeated team.

[Sidetracked]

big 10 didnt fair all that well last year...and ohio st destroyed oregon....and the only thing thats different from this years oregon team and last years oregon team is the qb...take all that for what u will but its either ohio st or no play for me

[RJ89]

I think Ohio St. is the play. There is a huge public overreaction to the Big Ten going 0-5 on New Years. They were underdogs in all 5 games so it doesn't make sense to draw conclusions from that. Ohio St. is a better team than Arkansas, their rested defense is going to be the best defense Arkansas has seen all year, and I don't think Ohio St. will have trouble moving at all. Ohio St. will also be super-motivated for this game because all they have heard about is how they the Big Ten sucks and went 0-5, and how they can't win against teams from the SEC. They definitely want to prove everyone wrong, and this is their best chance to do so.

[aznjeff07]

and how often does the public win

probably at least 40-50%....

[RJ89]

I would say it's closer to 40% when most of the public is on a side and the line doesn't move at all..

[BookiesBernanke]

anyone like the under? I havent really been that impressed with Ohio States offense against high ranked teams

[frankzig]

mant ideas here still like razorbacks

[thenate023]

tough one even though osu is terrible vs sec opp

[firehoyt]

I thought about taking the Under but I'm worried Ark will run up the score like Stanford did. Thinking about making a play on the OSU TT. I think the Ark D will shut them down

[spongerat]

geez you guys overanalyze the line movement way too much sometimes. The public is right 50% the same as flipping a coin

[Adr3nalin3 Ru5h]

Buckeyes -3 is the play but i like everyone being on Arkansas

[HoulihansTX]

Take off your panties No Coin, and bet the Hogs..

BIG

[gardner47]

where are you seeing public on ARK. Sportsoptions has 54% on OSU.

[Boscoe]

i'm in the same boat..... oh well..... i'm going with the hogs anyway.

[mlb]

I like ohio st .. think they will bring it ... I'm not buying Arkansas even though big ten has been shasty

[HoulihansTX]

You mean Shitty.

Outside of Wisconsin, all of the Big Ten teams looked average or worse.

[RiverBoatGambler]

It's 60/40 with the public on Arkansas. Hell the public pounded Stanford last night. The team with the best QB will win(Arkansas), and yes I'm a huge Razorback fan. I saw almost all their games this season and caught a few Ohio State games. OSU is good, make no mistake about it. The X factor is Bobby Petrino, the man can call an offensive football game. He will be in the zone tonight with all the prep time his staff has had. Arkansas D is going to be more than up to stopping Ohio State. Speed, speed, speed, and lots of it Arkansas has. The D has gotten better as the season went on.


You guys can over analyze the lines and shit or you can man up and pick the best team...

I watched almost every Arkansas game this year, and Mallett makes a lot of crunch-time mistakes.

So besides 2 bad throws at Alabama what crunch time mistakes did he make??

[RiverBoatGambler]

What about the 4th and 3 against LSU that Mallet threw a 30+ yd TD? That was pretty crunch time and he seemed to do ok then....

[BetWeather]

bet the Hogs..

[drgonzo111]

would prefer to see Arkansas win, but I'm afraid I may be blinded by my hatred for ohio state.
