Ohio State Bookie News: Why the Buckeyes Can Beat Penn State

Ohio State regional bookies are likely profiting with the use of a top Pay Per Head.  A 4-3 record Against The Spread might have independent bookies a bit under water as they are unable to offer LIVE IN-PLAY WAGERING.  Saturday’s game could see a shift to 5-3 ATS should those who are bullish on the Buckeyes be correct, and this could cause heartburn for the bookies and agents catering to Buckeyes bettors.

Some of the advantages the Buckeyes have entering Saturday’s marquee matchup:

Extra Rest and Prep Time – Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has not lost following a bye week since 2001.

Home Field Advantage – The idea of being beaten twice at home in a given season is hard to fathom.  When Oklahoma did so a few weeks ago, they became only one of three teams to accomplish this feat during the Urban Meyer era.

Buckeyes Back in Top Form - The Buckeyes have racked up at least 500 total yards in their last five games, making this the longest stretch in Ohio State football history.

“I don’t think any team in the country has improved as much as Ohio State since the Oklahoma game,” studio analyst Dave Wannstedt said. “I don’t care who they played. J.T. is making better decisions, the offensive line is better and guys are making plays.”
