Texas @ Ohio State - 9/10
I'm getting down on this one early....
NCAA Football
5 STAR: OHIO STATE (-1) OVER Texas
(Line from BetJamacia on 9/6)
I hate to go against my Horns, but I really like OSU in this spot. Both of these teams are solid. I rate the Longhorns offense ahead of OSU with Vince Young leading the way, but I rate the Buckeye defense ahead of the UT defense as this OSU squad will be one of the best in the nation this year. I see the big advantage for Ohio State in special teams. The Horns have some serious troubles in the kicking game as Richmond McGee replaces Dusty Mangum as the place kicker, and I would not want to have to count on a game winning kick by him at this point in the season and there is a very good chance of this being a low scoring game that will be decided by a field goal. Texas also was not very good at returning kicks last season, while Ohio State has homerun threats with Holmes and Ginn Jr. who returned four punts for touchdowns last year handling the returns. I think this is where the game will be won by the Buckeyes. Ohio State is 16-6 against the spread in home games after a cover as a double digit favorite since 1992 and Texas is 0-7 against the spread in road games after a win by 35 or more points under Mack Brown. The play is OSU.
2005/2006 NCAA FOOTBALL RECORD
5 STAR RECORD 1-0 (+5.00 UNITS)
3 STAR RECORD 1-1 (-0.30 UNITS)
2 STAR RECORD 2-0 (+3.00 UNITS)
1 STAR RECORD 3-0 (+3.00 UNITS)
OVERALL RECORD 7-1 (+11.70 UNITS)
A $100 player would up $1170
