Buckeyes are really good. One key injury = 157 Cannon, likely out.
What would your line be? Cannon absence hurts. I'd make it: Penn St -8.
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

Yes, nash. But OhioSt has an unusually good team.
If Cannon is deemed healthy, this dual would be really close. PennSt is on a LONG win streak. OhioSt COULD win the first three weights.

Preview. OhioSt needs an upset somewhere to spring the upset. 184?

My -8 may be light. It COULD go OhioSt first 3, PennSt next 6, and OhioSt at Hvy.
My personal guesses w/ a few comments:
125: PennSt +3 - Lilledahl looks sharp. As good as Bouzakis is, he cuts weight.
133: OhioSt +3 - Two youngsters. Slight lean to Davino.
141: OhioSt +5 - Mendez to bonus.
149: OhioSt +3 - Going to call for the upset here (just to spice it up). Van Ness seems like a fossil to me.
157: PennSt +4 - This is a problem. Cannon would have made it a toss-up. Injury forces backup in here.
(Halftime: OhioSt 11, PennSt 7)
165: PennSt +5 - Mesenbrink is a monster.
174: PennSt +3 - Haines is too good. Not sure Kharchla is fluid enough.
184: PennSt +3 - Pivotal match. Fishback is good. Welsh a hair better.
197: PennSt +3 - Barr is on fire. Maybe bonus?
Hvy: OhioSt +3 - Feldman rates a solid favorite. Mirasola winning would be an upset.
(Final: PennSt 21, OhioSt 14)
...Close to my -1. And that includes one Buckeye upset.
...You hardly hear of any NCAA Wrestling lines. If anyone sees it, let me know. -8 is decent, but it's so contingent on injuries.
