    Make the Line: Ohio State at Illinois

    I'm thinking Ohio State -2.5 or -3. What do you think?

    I don't give Illinois much of a chance here, and you're talking to the king of taking home dogs.

    Who guards Sullinger and bangs with Lauderdale? Illini are incredibly perimeter oriented. If they go without a FG during a stretch like they did tonight, they won't be as luck as they were to beat MSU. If they're hot from distance, though, you never know.

    On paper, it's a bad matchup for the Illini IMHO.

    So you're guessing like -1.5 or 2?

    If your above numbers match, it'd be Ohio State -2 -- not the other way around.

    Books aren't going to give 6.5 points for home court.

    every home court is different.

    Duke's home court is any where between 10-12 points.

    I'd be shocked if the unbeaten, top-ranked team in the country was an underdog at Illinois.

    Ohio State has to lose at sometime.. This game still scares me though.. Illinois and Mccamey are streaky so it will be interesting.

    Illinois will be a small home dog, i doubt they will be able to beat Ohio st, but it wouldn't shock me either, home courts,aside from michigan and Iowa have been unreal so far

    Not a chance! They have to play at Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, and Minnesota.

    They will probably be dogs at Purdue.
