Football Penn State opens as small underdog to Oregon in Big Ten Championship game

[Jerry]

Honestly, I thought it would be higher.

If we win, we likely end up with the #1 seed -- #2 at worst -- which would get us a bye but might not be a big advantage in the second round. If we lose close, hopefully we wouldn't drop below #5 or 6 in the CFP seedings, which is actually a pretty good place to be.

If we get blown out, we'll still make the cut but won't be seeded very advantageously.

Meanwhile, an 11-1 regular season with a spot in the CCG. I think we all would have happily taken that back in August.

I expect it to increase. Think it's low.

Why? The line is about right.

I think regardless of score, loser gets the 6 and winner gets the 1.

House money baby. Let’s win it all this year.

Oregon is 5 if they lose (assuming a win vs UW tonight). I don’t see how any non championship team would be ranked above them.

I think we’d be anywhere from 5-7 with a loss and depending on other results.

Seriously, it is house money! I am happy to go 11-1, especially considering the insanity and parity this season.

Go back to August 1st and tell anyone "you are going 11-1 and making the ccg with playoff seeding on the line" and I think everyone would have been thrilled.

Why? The line is about right.

I think they are a better team on both lines, at WR, and QB. That I think rates about a 7 point difference.

3-5 is right for a neutral field--lines are just to split betting--we'll see it go up some IMO

Well just bet them

How much are you laying on the 3.5 then? Just curious.

If we win that is great. If we lose, especially a blowout, then it’s too bad OSU lost the game today.
