Football Penn State opens as 4.5-point underdogs versus Ohio State
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Dog at home against 1 loss team. Difference between elite and good.
That's what half game performances and lack of detail produce.
Psu has yet to play a game for all 4 quarters and we are on game 8.
Gutsy win but the signs of 2 losses are there. Not to be a negative Nancy but the trend is there.

@LandoComando please your betting receipt of 20k on Ohio State. Otherwise, we will all know the fraud that you are.
I haven't bet yet--we need to see if Allar is playing plus Donkoh.
It's weird you or anyone else would even question that I bet big all weekend but whatever you need kiddo
2 losses are certainly possible but we should be favored in every remaining game except OSU.
I don't agree with the odds. Ohio state's offensive line was very thin before the injuries to the two left tackles. It is very possible that the left tackle for Ohio State will be an open door. That is how Nebraska stayed in the game. If OSU'S QB had had time to throw, I OSU would have easily scored 50 points against Nebraska. As it was, because OSU couldn't run its offense, OSU barely squeaked out a win.

And that's Penn State's path to victory if Allar is out. Hope for a 14-13 type game in which our DL causes chaos all day long.
The line is pretty good--we'll see how it changes. I'm guessing it gets to 6
People now think Minnesota will beat us since USC and Wisconsin failed to do so
Howard is missing Simmons, but the RB’s are too. He was a very big part of the OSU offense. They did a lot of running to his side.
According to the OP's logic, duhO$U is insanely over-valued in the betting market. duhO$U played a far worse game against a far inferior opponent yesterday - duhO$U only put up 285 yards of total offense yesterday, including only 64 yards rushing on 31 rushing attempts (2.1 ypc). Playing @Home against a Nebraska team that lost last week to Indiana 56-7 giving up 495 yards of Total Offense and 215 rushing yards to Indiana???
The reality is that PSU won the game going away and easily covered the spread while duhO$U laid a complete egg against a mediocre-to-bad team - almost lost and didn't even remotely sniff covering the spread as a massive home-favorite. I would be very hesitant to bet what looks like an insanely over-rated duhO$U team as road-favorite.
100% agree. I posted when he went down against Oregon that OSU probably doesn't have a chance to win the national championship because he was so important to the team
I will add that Penn State was Will Howard's favorite team and he hoped to be recruited by them but wasn't. He is really amped up for the game. However, won't matter if he is flat on his back all day.
First, we'll hear that "Washington is going to be tough." Then Minnesota. Then Maryland.
Some wet blanket will chime in about Purdue too.
LMAO, you do realize that duhO$U was favored by 25.5 @Home over a bad Nebraska team yesterday (meanwhile, PSU easily covered on the road yesterday contrary to your lame analysis). So given all your sage analysis based on a betting line - could we get your incredibly insightful analysis of duhO$U's really bad win yesterday @home (where they barely beat a bad Nebraska team and failed to cover the spread by a massive 22.5 points)????

Time for PSU to make a stand. There are questions regarding player’s health on both sides and IIRC at least 1 OSU defender has to sit out the first half for targeting on Saturday.
No more empty talk about addressing slow starts, only for more slow starts. This week they need to come out on fire from opening kick to have a chance at an upset.
They will need close to a perfect game, especially if Allar remains out. This will be a week where the D is going to have to carry the team.

Ohio State will
Illinois is still a solid win even after they got destroyed by Oregon.
You bet fantasy bucks, lil guy.
The only way you'd have 10K or 20K to bet on a game is if you were the victim of an accident that caused head trauma ... explaining your current overwhelming neurodivergence ... and you got a huge, huge settlement as a result of some wrongful action by the other party.
They've sucked for the last couple of years and has been the weak spot-unit of OSU. I'm not as familiar with OSU as you obviously are, but I'll be surprised if the OL coach is still there after this season.
BTW, what's going on with your DL and lack of pressure on the opposing QB especially with all of the High 4 and 5 stars on that unit? I've read that Larry Johnson might be gone after this year.
Again, we've discussed this before but you don't read
You can pretend I'm stupid all you want but I'm ALMOST always proven right--notice you haven't commented on Franklin apologizing for how poorly we handled the press conference. It was a fact we botched that to which they've admitted. See, when mistakes are made that actually say it.
