No. 13 Miami (1-0) at No. 2 Ohio State (1-0)

Away:  Miami [1-0 ATS]
Home:  Ohio State[1-0 ATS]

Game Time: 3:40 PM
Stadium: Ohio Stadium

The Buckeyes are playing at home where early on the have had trouble beating the likes of Navy (22 point favorites and maybe they were looking ahead to USC) and Iowa when they where 16.5 point faves. The last two years they have lost to both Texas and USC @ home. I expected this line to be closer to 5-7 points in favor of the Buckeyes, however, the line opened at 10 and everyone and their brother jumped on it and the line is down to 8.

What I have learned over the last several years of betting on college football is that the books never give us gifts, but they do need a few weeks before they start adjusting lines and making it more difficult for us to pick a winner. IMO the Buckeyes will come out hard and fast and surprise everyone with a double digit win. I would wait a day or two and see if the line keeps coming down. Even though I like the Bucks to win by 10-13...I'd like to grab the line at 6.5 or 7.

Ill post my final play Saturday morning. Best of luck!

Ive been watching Pryor for a couple of years now.... He can beat this team.

This is the only big game out of conference in Pryor's career where he actually has the QB edge.  Jaccory Harris blows.  I have my largest bet of the year on OSU.

close game, I think that people are forgetting how athletic this hurricane team is,especially on D, miami's main problem in the last couple of years has been consistancy, the have an pretty experienced squad this year that should finally live up to the hype, take the U plus the points,  9 pts is too much

You ever take a dog?

 

More so than TP is a stretch, JH is far superior passer...   Time will tell but there is no way conservative Tressel wins this by double digits..  I like the under in this game as both teams will have problems moving the ball...   The D will impress for the U....   Small bet on my team nothing major as this could go either way..

With two over rated African American QB's at the helm in this game, probably the scariest play on the board this week.  Who the hell knows for sure who's going to show up.  The defense for both teams will probably be the deciding factor.  BOL.

Bucks looked solid last Thursday, given it was against Marshall. TP looked really good, and considering his throwing motion still isn't tolerable imo, his mechanics as a throwing QB impress me. There was a couple times last week he had Posey deep and threw it perfectly, seeing Posey let up towards the end surprised me....keep going and it's 6.

The D is what was expected, and Nate Williams returns against the U, giving them even more fire power. Rolle and Homan are an amazing duo, both seem to be in every play. It won't be a shocker this D will give Harris fits all day.

What needs to improve, which has been a strength in years past, is the special teams. Not even counting the blocked punt for TD, but while watching, every extra point seemed to barely make it through the upright....Tress is practically married to FG's, so this has to improve.

It's tough to bet with your heart, especially with 9-10pts going the other way.....can they win by dd? Definitely. Will I put $ on my Buckeyes.....hmmm...maybe 1H.....can't wait for this game

Miami gets rolled in this game. Ive been waiting for this game for a while. Ohio States defense is going to make Miami look like a JV squad. at home at the shoe, this is a national championship type game for ohio st. Miami will see what speed is on saturday.

God forbid if you throw in the black qb angle! I about got beheaded for it in the Florida thread, and Im black.

Miami will lose, whatever the number is the unknown.

harris doesnt play black, he couldnt beat a lineman in a race. Hes a good pocket passer, solid arm, accurate, can read the defense very well. he does rattle at times but still a way better pro prospect than pryor.

man if i was black this is the place i would come to wanna kick some ass!! on that note i will take miami's black qb and the shitty calls from 2003 national championship back. thanks refs! by the way i live in cleveland and going to columbus just to run my mouth GO HURRICANES

He is nowhere near the player Pryor is in stature. He can read a defense better than Pryor at this point, but that would be about all he is better at.

My god this thread is full of racism! I'd take Ohio State here if it goes down to 6 no doubt. That probably won't happen so I'd sit it out.

Black, White, Green, Blue, Orange....the color doesn't matter...both QBs blow. Pryor has been hyped to death for years and now Harris has inexplicably become some kind of media favorite despite throwing 17 picks last year....I can see the Buckeye D making Jacory look really bad this week while Tressel protects Pryor enough (again) and avoids the mistakes in a comfortable home win.

The line opened at 10 and last I looked was down to 8.5 in most spots. It seems to me that a lot of the hate your talking about is in your own head.

LOL, I took Hawaii last week and V Tech as a dog.  2 out of my 3 plays were on dogs.  I'll likely be on Vanderbilt this week and mostly play dogs the rest of the year.  Do some research, I mostly go against the public.  This Miami getting 10 points is the biggest sucker bet of the year and you will see on Sat.  OSU will run all over this fast/athletic defense and Harris will do nothing against OSU defense.  I will have a 5 unit bet on OSU.  I am 12-4 on my large OSU plays over 5 years on covers (documented).  You can fade all u want

Protect him like he did in the Rose Bowl when he threw 23/37 for 266, 2 TDs and a INT?  or last week when he went 17/25  for 247 with 3 TD's against Marshall.

I think the Buckeyes throw more than you think.
