Game Thread Ohio State @ Rutgers - 11/16/19, 3:30PM (BTN)

[Jaxbuck]

Early spread looking like 50.5 pt favorite

I'll pound that, Alba style.

Rutgers is like a fighter out on his feet, no way to defend himself but he's still out there in harms way.

Like when Homer Simpson took up boxing

More like when he started taking cannonballs to the gut.

The over/under for this game is also just 56 points, meaning the linemakers don’t see Rutgers scoring many points.

Let the "PLUNGERFEST" begin:

100th in 3rd down conversion % (36.09)
127th in turnover margin per game (-1.3)

Just sayin': We need to beat them by more than 52.

It might be 52-0 in the first quarter.

I'll be a little disappointed if we don't match the 56-0 halftime lead we had on Iowa in '95.

TBH, if it was reasonably acceptable to forfeit, Rutgers probably would choose to do that and have some dignity rather than play this game.

Wouldn’t taking Rutgers and over be a prudent play.

Spread is now 53 with the O/U @ 58.

The only outcomes that would deleterious is OSU 53-57 to 0.

Any score outside that range the max exposure is only the juice.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

over 58 looks so much like free money that it makes me nervous.

Was at that game and after it Hayden Fry said that was the best team he ever saw.

Don't over think it.

What teams has OSU faced so far that are most like Rutgers? Miami Oh, Northwestern and Maryland.

76-5, 52-3 and 73-14 respectively

Day also knows style points matter for CFP so even when backups go in, there is an expectation of results.

I just got it at -51 at 5 Dimes
