    Penn State +19 too good to be true?

    PSU coming off back to back top 25 wins. I know they are on the road, but what am I not seeing?

    What you are not seeing is that once they're on the road, they'll start shooting like the team that lost to Maine by 10 pts, while OSU still has Jared Sullinger and 3 of the best 3pt shooters in the country at home.

    Also, Kenpom shows PSU has the 3rd worst defense in the Big Ten after NW and IU.

    Ohio State wins this 89 - 66.

    73% on PSU and the line moves to 19.5? staying away but OSU looks like the play with the line movement.

    Battle is one hell of a ball handler and shooter but that's the only major talent I see with them. Ohio st covers

    I think this might actually be a good bet because Ohio State has let a bit of their advantage slip away late versus Michigan where they leading by double digits and then won by 4 and against Iowa where they down came back to be up 13 and then ended up winning by 3-5 points. I don't think Penn State can make this game very competitive, I just think given OSU's ways of letting teams score at the end might make this a good bet.

    I'm a Penn State student... And only way 'we' cover is if we start chucking up some garbage time shots to cut the 25 point lead to inside whatever the number settles at. Battle is the whole team essentially, and even if you let him get off (and he did vs Illinois) the rest of the team won't score more than 35. Our "big men" Jeff Brooks and Andrew Jones have been playing well lately but I don't see that continuing vs Sullinger and co. OSU wins by 20+.

    It's so many points. Battle alone should cover. No play.
