Anybody on this?

Indiana has a ton of returning starters, home game with college game day there...

Head coach was new Indiana D.C. last year of the much improved defense, he coached high school in Indiana.

"Indiana’s nine returning starters on defense are the most of any team in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers showed marked improvement under head coach (coordinator last season) Tom Allen. After giving up 37.6 points a game in 2015, Indiana allowed 27.2 and cut its yards per play mark to 5.1 (down from 6.4 in 2015). Linebacker Tegray Scales should challenge for All-America honors in 2017."

OSU O.C. was fired from Indiana Head Coach job last year for making players play injured.

OSU 0-6 ATS last six meetings with IU.

I only put 1u on IU because it's early, but I like this one.

I was looking at this for many of the reasons that you highlighted.

[hubie69]

My numbers show this should be closer to OSU-17/-18 ish. That being said I'm not going to be on Indiana. Perhaps the over but likely a no play for me

[jjgold]

Ohio St 's Meyer starting to slip

Terrible play caller now and living in the past

[Gamblinmann]

FWIW, I have a relative who is a senior at IU. There are some hard feelings among the IU players in regards to Wilson. How that translates to the football field is anyone's guess.

[Bigbill365]

Ind a team that will keep it close in the end

[Bigbill365]

I say back off these big nameteams week one to hard to tell stick to more evenly matched lower spreads

[funnyb25]

Seems like a decent play actually, I just hate huge point spreads. Usually cross every double digit point spread game off the card.

[MaddyMax]

is this a neutral court game?

I think Allen is a successful coach and that IU will be much improved with him as coach.

Plus his buddy, Debord is the new O.C. He coached Greise and Brady, and several other NFL QB's. He said Lagow has an NFL arm, he just needs to play smart like Brady and cut down on the interceptions.

I have a good feeling about this team.

Two units on it now.

Not a bad bet. 21 is a lot of points and Indiana is no longer some scrub team.

[MaddyMax]

Indiana seem like a play that all the touts will unload and market it as game of the week/year because indiana has covered the last 6 meeting plus this year indiana is good. This is the type of game where touts and followers get buried when indiana doesn't show up and ohio state ends up winnings 52-7 or 52-14. Then everyone will jump off the Indiana bandwagon and indiana will go on a tear to win 4 or 5 games in a row against the spread causing bettors to jump on the bandwagon again......and once again indiana will crash.

Very technical analysis here. ^^

In sports betting, sometimes you don't need to break down the match up/players/stats etc. You can spend hours doing that. But an experienced pro can just give you better insight just looking at the line.

Greaser - I like Indy first half. I'm not sure they can sustain over the course of a game. Meyer's teams are notorious slow starters but might pick it up in the 2nd half.

[MinnesotaFats]

Urban Meyer has had 8 months to think about that shut out to end last season.

He has his qb back.

This has 56-20 written all over it.

[CappinTerp]

I do like this game and just posted a small write-up on the game.................................... ......................gl

Agree. Indiana will play a tough first half, but fade out in the 2nd half. Ohio State will come on strong. Indiana is a 6-6 type team. Ohio State is a 15-0 type team.

Meyer may take starters out in 2nd half....not to risk injury,for their biggest game of the year vs Oklahoma ,the following week.

Oh yea forgot the look-ahead angle

Was that what you were doing? Not being an ass, seriously wondering.

I usually stay away from lines this big, but this is the exception.

You are on OSU moneyline aren't you?

[unde0087]

I hit the over when it was at 52, the only play for week 1 thus far, should be perfect weather and offense should not be a problem.

[ZINISTER]

Indiana will miss the services of RB Redding. He is trying to make the cuts in KC. That kid never got any spotlight being in a conference with RBs like Zeke and Barkley...etc. Might not be able to stay close with NO rushing attack. Not sure how they are running their offense. Depends on what the NEW OC will do with the talent he has. GL

[daneblazer]

Leaning Indiana here

[PaperTrail07]

RB for IU is gone....This game goes 1 of two ways.....Ohio State's O operate smooth or it dosent.....IU's D means nothing IMO...Also don't forget the guy forced out of IU is on OSU staff now... OSU could be up 21 at half...

[jjgold]

Indiana hasn't won a big game in many many years one of these times you never know ....they usually get crushed against good teams

[boneheaded1]

You are on OSU moneyline aren't you?

I fail to see the humor in this. :-) I actually am on the OSU moneyline (as part of a parlay but free money is free money).

[teaserpleaser]

Over is probably the safest bet in this game

[maggiethebestdog]

Lol. He was just bragging in the magazine thread about last year and I reminded him how he couldn't pick -800 money line favs correctly.

[unde0087]

it was a good bet before it went up 6 points in 2 days, now it is a borderline play

[grease lightnin]

bigdaddy's system is to bet huge road fave ml's in CFB. Straight bets, not parlays. He made a thread about it and he was serious.

[kidcudi92]

They might win SU

[teaserpleaser]

Hadn't even checked it tbh

I just know Indiana never has a good defense but they can score.
