Exactly. I see this line closing with Ohio State being 2.5 point favorites. I don't like betting on OOC games. They are a lot less predictable with very few common opponents. I'd give tOSU the edge though because they finished strong and Okie State finished pretty weak. Plus Tressel has shown that he knows how to win a bowl game. Since 2001, his first experience with it, he really has shown he knows how to get a team ready. I think the fact that tOSU has a lot of young starters will help their cause, since they will be playing in their first bowl game. Troy Smith and TG2 are going to be ready to have big games. Seems as though Okie State gets most of their yards on the ground, and Snyder and Tucker have really gotten that tOSU defense to focus on stopping the run in the second half of the season. As far as the over being a good bet? I agree. I think tOSU will score 49 easy
