This is from Chris Fowler's latest insider article on espn.com:
Las Vegas sources told me that Ohio State would be about a four-point favorite over USC on a neutral field. The Bucks would be about a five- or 5½-point favorite over the Wolverines in a rematch.
------------
Obviously that can be all BS, but I really hope he's right. I'm not a kool-aid drinking supporter of my favorite teams and do see things unbiased, but I don't understand how they are a single digit fav against anybody. If anyone watched the Michigan game (I did, I was there), three "un-handicapable" plays made the score closer than the talent level: two bad snaps and the late PI call. Fumbles, INTs, and turnovers like that can be handicapped, but a center snapping the ball off his leg for the first time this year is just a freak accident.
Anyway, I really hope he is right on the line so I load up. GL all!
