The line opened at Blue -3, which is generally considered the home field advantage spread. It jumped to -7 within a couple of hours. what do you think about that? That's a lot of respect against a QB like Cook and a D like Sparty brings. Granted, Sparty better be ready for a dog fight, but the public has bought into Blue big time. Guess 3 straight shutouts will do that.
On a related note, Blue is 4-2 ATS this year. Sparty is 0-6. Damn. But I would still take the points all day. Would you?
Buckeyes only cover this year was Virginia Tech. I figured Vegas would have adjusted to this by now but they keep setting big lines for our boys and the public is keeping those lines afloat by putting pretty even money on both sides. Last I checked the line was 17.5.
