as much as i'd love to think that
osu will beat the spread, and as much as i think that
osu can surely beat the spread, i would not be betting this one. i can't help but think that ohio state and penn state are two evenly matched teams, which could very well mean that a close game will be had this weekend. penn state won by 5
at evanston, so i'm doubling that for a 10-point victory for ohio state. actually, i'll add 4 more points for a 41-27 victory. i hope that i'm proven wrong. i'd like to see ohio state cover the spread so that a signal can be sent to the pollsters. if the buckeyes can stake two exclamation points to the end of the season, the path to a bcs bowl game will be that much clearer.
