We have the next two Heisman Winners QBing.

Like the OSU play but, best bet is tease both sides and watch Texas win by 7. jmo

Love the UF -3 play, my book is already at -3.5. Is there any value in the moneyline at -165?

irishcapper · Jan 3, 2009

Cool, start your own thread about it. Going against Ted will put you in the poor house. GL

Haven't dug into the "Championship" game yet but after perusing through a bunch of articles on tonight's game I agree with the Buckeyes. Perception of the Big 10 and Ohio St. in particular is off base and the line is really off by a good 3-4 points, if not more. Pryor should look capable after all this practice time and this will in turn help out a now healthy Beanie Wells in the running game. This group of seniors has been through a lot of tough losses but I trust they will finish up with a good performance.

Bingo!

I will add that in the biggest of games, defense dictates and controls the way a game is played out. Now, that being said, which team has the better defense in tonight's game?

Perception of Big 10 not off by much imo, the Big 10 is currently 1-4 in bowl games, Iowa is the only winner.

Ted : Don't be fooled by the #'s OSU has on "D", could be because of the lack of offense in Big 10. For example Alabama came into game vs Utah rated #6 defensively & that showed to be a joke , they were #6 because the SEC lacks in offense big time(vandy,ole miss,auburn,tenn,south carolina) Big 10 is also a conference which lacked over all talent/speed on offense.

I don't judge a team's defense solely on statistics as I look at each game and team individually and the athletes that play each position. When you compare the two defenses in tonight's game, the edge on defense is clearly with the Buckeyes IMHO. We'll soon see.
