Holy Toledo This Dog Will Bite!

[HE]

I’m on the Toledo Rockets +21.5 (bought half a point) in this interstate rivalry. In particular I’m impressed with their QB. Aaron Opelt. This kid threw for 423 yds. at Purdue in week one and 319 yds. in week two vs. Colorado. He also rushed for 110yds in the Colorado game. Toledo raked up 624 yds. of total offense last week (albeit it was against Colorado). Toledo returns 18 starters (9 offense/ 9 defense), including all five offensive linemen. Opelt, who is the nation's individual leader in total offense (437.0 yards per game).

Based on what I have seen in their first two games the Buckeyes have a long ways in living up to the hype the media has bestowed on them , and certainly one can't count the Rockets out of any game. Remember last year (Oct. 11) when the Rockets were a double digit dog in “The Big House” at Ann Arbor when they came up with a huge upset over Michigan (13-10). Opelt was 33 for 50 for 257 yards.

To repeat, you can't count the Rockets out of any game!

Colorado and Purdue could combine defenses and not have half the talent OSU does on defense.

not to crap on the pick or anything. the number seems about right. but Toledo isnt going to have the way offensively

One thing you ^ fail to realize is that Purdue and Colorado are AWFUL....

Ohio St has played Navy and USC...both Navy and USC would rack up the same type of offensive #'s against Colorado and Purdue...

You realize Purdue also gave up a ton of points to Oregon right? The same Oregon who barely got a sniff of anything versus Boise. I think it is fair to say that Ohio St's defense is as good as Boise, eh?

As pedestrian as Ohio St's offense may be, they won't have any problem scoring against Toledo. This game will be "competitive" early...but Ohio St will pull away in the second half...

OSU will not lose to Toledo, no way, no how.
Having saud that, you may get a late backdoor cover, OSU could be up 41-17 with 1:30 left, and may 'bend' their defense to make the final 41-24.

Do you really want a wager to be decided by a backdoor cover?

I'm passing, but I wish you well.

That is the exact same score I was going to post myself....41-17

All valid points above. No question as to who will win this game. I just think the line is too tall. BTW this game is being played in Browns Stadium in Cleveland, and not in Toledo.

Fair enough...BOL to you is you are taking Toledo...

Although it is in Cleveland, there will be more Toledo people there then what would normally be there...i'm guessing of the 75K, 50K pro OSU, 25K pro Toledo

Why buy the hook, do you really think it is going to land on 21 and if you do then why play this game.

 

[slatter]

Toledo-Ohio State is intrastate, not interstate.

GL with your plays!

 

[Pick'n-Play]

+34 sounds better to me! Just tease it with the over and you can go ahead and start spending the winnings now!

BOL!

I was going to make the very same point, the only time I will buy the hook is off of 3 and 7.
Maybe off of 7.5 to avoid a 21-13 score, *maybe*

I like the under 58 . . . .

More like 60K OSU and 15K Toledo, and that's being generous. BOL with your play

You are even being wayyyy to generous I think.

Toledo will be lucky to have 10k there rooting for them.

NEVER count out Toledo at home in the Glass Tittie:toast:

They aren't home.
