The game has now been removed from my betting site (where it has been Penn State between -23 1/2 and - 24 all week). I suspect the larger sites are uncomfortable with it and that too much of the action is coming in on one side or the other (which begs the question "on which side"). A puzzler for a lot of reasons already discussed under the OP, but I suspect some of the betting houses simply want to walk away from it due to the uncertainties at QB. Personally, I think Roberson starts and plays the entire game unless he is injured or Penn State is trailing in the second half and needs Clifford to win it (which I would consider unlikely).
Update on the earlier Penn State - Illinois betting line post
- Thread starter northwoods
- Start date
Don't believe there is a Coach out there that would be making decisions - i.e., "playing" - the duhO$U Game before we've played and won the Illinois Game. Certainly runs completely contradictory to CJF's "1-0" mantra prior to each week's game. Coach us going to give his team the best opportunity to win, not handicap them... and then expect them to flip a switch and win a shortened game if they get in trouble.... It's all going to come down to if Cliff is medically cleared to play imho - if he is cleared to play, he plays. If PSU gets out to a big lead, they might pull him earlier than they otherwise would, but that's about it.
