Penn State has been playing Ohio State close the last few years. Penn State by 3 in 2016, Ohio State by 1 in 2017 and 2018.
Part of that is due to Urban Meyer being an arrogant a$$. Example, him thinking it was a good idea to kick the opening kickoff to Saquon Barkley in 2017 and Barkley proceeded to house it. Arrogant fool got what he deserved there.
That 18.5 number is HUGE in light of the recent history of this matchup. But most of the main players from those teams are gone. That said, I wouldn’t touch that number this year. If forced, gimme Ohio State to cover. Home game, superior talent, and first year head coaches tend to like to make the boosters happy and cover the spreads, leaving little room for the underdog to squeak out a late 4th qtr cover with a last minute touchdown.
OSU @ MICHIGAN - 30 Nov.
Fighting Khakis have a chance? Any early lines...?
