One that jumps out at me

Haven't done a whole lot of research into it yet, but I really like Indiana laying 9.5 at home over Ohio St. I know that conference play does produce a lot of tight games but there are some reasons I like this one.

To start with, Ohio St. is just not very good this year, and Indiana is capable of beating anybody in the country at home by double digits. Ohio St. has lost 2 in a row and these teams look to be headed in different directions. Bracey Wright is listed as probable tonight and IU beat Illinois by 8 without him on Saturday. In my opinion Illinois is a far superior team to Ohio St. Add in the revenge factor from the 81-69 defeat IU received from OSU only 10 days ago and I think this game will be blowout city.

Gotta go with IU -9.5

Thoughts appreciated.

Liking this one more and more.

Ohio St. has only played 3 road games this year, and has lost all of them by double digits. Lost 91-76 at Duke, 69-49 at Pitt, and 66-55 at Mich St. I think Indiana is better than Mich St. so I look for this win to be in the 13-15 point range, but could possibly be a 20 point + blowout.

I am surprised that I really don't see anyone else on this one. (Then again, don't see anyone going the other way either).

IU sucks

IU sucks

they are also well known for playing down to their competition. If the three isn't falling they lose this game outright. If it is falling they win by 5-6 points.

Edward - do I detect a little IU bias? As I'm sure you can tell by my avatar I usually couldn't agree more that IU sucks but considering OSU hasn't won at IU since 1959 I really can't conceive of an outright loss. You may be right about the 5-6 points, though, we shall see.

Two things that scares me.Ohio St won earlier matchup & losing on the road to those teams is a fate all but a very teams would suffer.I hope the line keeps going up!Beating Illinois doesn't impress me they seem to be hot or cold little in between.
