So seeing BOL now hanging Ohio State -1 and a sub -120 money line today.
Others still at -1’ and -130
If you are betting Texas - better get your bets in soon - by game time they will be favorites. That said - I lean slightly to Buckeyes here. Yes QB lacks experience - doesn’t matter nearly as much though if you have a good line taking the pressure off you.
Texas has talent - there’s no doubt. But playing on the road is ALWAYS tough. Under 48 if available is the best play here to me and suspect total will push that and just over by game time with public money - but I might tease a little OSU and over too.
Line right now, Texas +2. This probably would’ve been a more exciting matchup come November, not sure why the ‘powers that be’ would schedule it this way. Might just stay away from this game altogether…..
I disagree because sure the Shoe is a hard place to play but I don't think it'll rattle Arch Manning. Texas will come out strong looking to prove that they deserve to be number one. Plus I just think Ohio State has more question marks than Texas does to begin this season so I lean towards taking the points or just simply betting Texas ML.
