Barrett says to bet against Ohio State.  No, not that Barrett, but Barrett Sallee.  He's CBS Sportsline's betting expert and he is 91-68 against the spread this season, and 40-17 against the spread in SEC games.  That's a lot better than Clay Travis, or Slay Travis.  So what does Sallee say?

"We'll give one huge one away: Sallee is calling for Penn State to not only cover 6.5 points against Ohio State, but also for the Nittany Lions to pull off the upset.

"Sallee saw Penn State cruise past Michigan last week in a 42-13 beatdown... While Ohio State's defense is ranked 16th nationally, Michigan has a top-five defense and wasn't able to do anything to slow Penn State down. 

"Penn State's offense is more than just... Saquon Barkley. Sallee is impressed with... dual-threat quarterback Trace McSorley.

"Sallee... says Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is the one who will make a big mistake to cost the Buckeyes.

"Take Penn State, a team that is undefeated straight-up and 5-2 against the spread, and the points, and feel confident about getting a nice payout."

So what do you 11W contrarians say?
