    I feel there most definitely worth a shot Nevadaside. I'm just going to wait till we get closer to game time before placing my wager on this one, because I think the public might just push it up to 5.5 for us.

    No doubt about that, time is your friend here I believe as well if your leaning OHIO ST.

    OHIO ST's 0-5 ATS record vs SEC over last 3 seasons does raise a brow though.

    Also FLORIDA's 7-0 ATS record over the last 3 seasons on a neutral court where the posted total is 140-144.5 worries me some as well.

    Just a tough one to call. Business sense tells me to stay the hell away from this, but the bettor says there's a winner on one side of this game.

    My initial feeling was Ohio State +4.5 but after hearing Thad Matta & Billy Donovan speak about the upcoming game; I'm not sure. Matta sounded concerned and not too sure of himself in his press conference. I'm leaning towards Florida -4.5

    I waited all weekend to get that extra half a point. I'm on it + I will be going with a small play on the OSU money line at +205.

    The only way I could play this game is Florida. That being said, I may have to pass on the side because I think the backdoor cover is wide open for OSU. I hate not playing such a big game, but I just don't see much value with either side in this game.

    Lots of people will be on the Florida ML, so might as well make them pay for it. This line is right where it should be. I wouldn't even think about making a bet based on what the public is doing or not doing. OSU can win, but could very well lose a hold late and blow the game.

    In my bracket, I have OSU going all the way, but my picks were made before the beginning of the tourney. Now that I've gotten to watch both teams for few games... I have to go with Florida. Florida by 7 or 8. I hate Florida but they are gonna make history tonight. Seriously, I hate Florida, but as a betting man, I have to go with the better team. Take the points with Florida.

    OSU+5.5 now up here at a local Book.

    If this thing hits 6, I'm buying the half & rollin w/OSU+6.5....and I said "IF"....for those all ready to say it won't hit +6.

    Predictions of what I will play tonight:
    2*OSU+6.5
    2*Over140

    LargeMouthBass,

    You are now in a PERFECT hedging position, since you think the Florida Moneyline is the right bet on its own merit.
