Im goibg thru the same dilema as you. They let Penn State go back door on them the other night before putting together a run at the end to barely cover. Granted this is at home. Also Michigan did beat Ohio State back in the beginning of January when Turneonr was hurt so there may be a revenge factor there. That being said, 12.5 is still a lot of pts for a big ten game that moves a little slower than some. Im taking State in a ML parlay with the Celtics. I may buy down to 10 or 10.5 and make a small play on this. Ohio State's average margin of vicotry at home in conference play is about 14. That is including the 3pt loss to purdue. Exclude the Purdue game and its about 16.5.
Ohio State will cover in my opinion this game wont be close after the tip, not only is this a huge rival and the bucks are at home but they also have retaliation on their minds after losing at michigan in embarassing fashion without evan turner...ohio state wins by atleast 20
Michigan has not been good thisy year. However with Tourny approaching I see some dogs covering today. OSU can sit back and play their game. Take the lead then pull and put in some bench players at the end to close it out. Thats where Mich will put up the points to cover, but not win.
