I am stunned that Vegas has Oregon favored by 6 and a half. Yardage wise, the Buckeyes just steamrolled a couple of really good teams.

OSU doesn't want your Clowns tainted mojo anywhere near that stadium S&L.

Dude, never.

When's the last time Vegas had Ohio State as an underdog for three consecutive games? !!!!!!

Vegas knows, vegas knows! Their function is to find a spread where half the people vote for one team, and half the the other. I look for it to drop as people will be putting $$ on OSU with that spread.

If you bet against Ohio State you will lose.

Starting to worry because I am having good feelings about this game.

CFB Playoff just announced $1250 stipend for players parents to attend game. Urban has been pushing hard for this.

Probably a good idea.
How long before someone takes advantage of it in some way?

Thought I would give a score prediction. It's obvious but I'm taking the Bucks BIG. Also predicting they will put Evan Spencer at QB for the entire 4th Quarter because the score will be 49-0 after 3 quarters.

OSU - 49
Oregon 14

Agree with this. Vegas doesn't give a shit who wins. They want 50% to bet on one team and 50% to bet on the other.

Agreed. I'm just wondering when the last time they had the line against the Buckeyes three weeks in a row. It had to be quite some time ago.

Probably 2004 when Zwick was a QB. That guy was a fucking bum.

No he wasn't. He damn near beat Texas with Vince Young if not for Hamby.

That was 2005...I referenced 2004. Guy was a bum and put us in a position that Nigent had to hit a 50+ FG just to beat Marshall. I was glad to see him benched in favor of TS.

That's what they want...but that's rarely what they get. Right now, the money has been pouring in on Ohio State....the reason why the line is dropping. I've loaded up on it and I rarely bet. Missed the bnoat on the Bama game.

Only a matter of time before I'm in the stadium at under $300
Think I saw face value was 450. I could have seen that wrong though.

Don't agree with this at all. If Hamby does not drop a TD pass Zwick legacy may be very different. Either way he was a Buckeye!

No you're right. Nosebleeds at $375 right now.

Anyone ever been to cowboy stadium? I imagine nosebleeds are pretty horrible seats lol the stadium is so huge I might try and spend an extra $100 and get in the 200's
