OSU @ MSU Thoughts?

I am really torn on this game. Huge game as the loser is pretty much toast as far as winning the big10 IMO. OSU has already beaten Pudue and Illinois on the road in the big10. You can toss out the Wisconsin road game as there was no Evan Turner. They also have road wins @Indiana, @Iowa. MSU has not been playing very well IMO for the better part of the conference. Something tellsl me OSU is a live dog here and catching 4 points seems like good value. But then again, OSU has laid some eggs up in East Lansing before and there is a part of me that says no way MSU loses to OSU after losing at home to Purdue a week+ ago. Home court has not been the dominant factor that it usually is amongst the top teams. If you look at the top 5 in the big10 (wisky, msu, purdue, osu and illinois) they have a combined home record of 9-6 against each other so it isn't like the home teams have been invincible in the big 10 in terms of the marquee teams holding serve.

Anyone have an angle on this game, especially one on MSU?

Michigan St. isn't exactly playing the best of basketball right now.....and to be honest, Ohio State isn't much at all without Evan Turner. I think it'll be a good game and if MSU can find a way to keep Turner from scoring 25+ they'll win easily. Too many of OSU's bench guys and guards rely on the 3 point shot. I give the advantage to Izzo.

MSU is 4-12 ATS and 3-9 at home ATS, enough said.
Bucks win this outright in a close game,
Also like unders in the half and in the game.
Hope this helps Solon.

That's why they play the game.....basing your pick and reason for an OSU win outright on ATS records will burn you. Enough said? Nope, the game will do the telling.
