Las Vegas oddsmakers opened Michigan State as 15½-point underdogs ahead of its trip to Ohio Stadium. Everyone laughed, including Mark Dantonio.
Well, Ohio State tied Michigan State to the whipping post Saturday. And they weren't the only ones to lose, either. According to one report, American bettors overwhelmingly backed the Spartans to cover against the Buckeyes.
Bad Bet Of The Day: 89% of the money at the 108 William Hill sportsbooks in Nevada was on Michigan State to cover as 17.5 point underdogs. They lost by 45 to Ohio State.

Another lesson in why it's a bad idea to bet against the Bucks.
