This is a 10* BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR on Ohio State.
For a number of different reasons I expect the home side to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. Penn State has lost seven straight Big Ten road games, but it's victory at then-No. 24 Ohio State last season is its only win in its last 18 road contests against Top 25 opponents. The Buckeyes haven't forgotten that "brain fart," and despite being without the services of the nation's top 3-point shooter in Marc Loving, who is serving the second game of an indefinite suspension, I think all of the conditions are right for a blowout. Besides, the Buckeyes' best overall player in D' Angelo Russell is on fire right now, he had 23 points, 11 assists and 11 boards in 35 minutes of action in a 79-60 win at Rutgers on Sunday. Not surprisingly, Russell is a serious contendor for the Big Ten Player of the Year award. Ohio State comes in with plenty of momentum as well, recent performance always plays a part in my handicapping process and the Buckeyes are "hot" overall in having won three of their last four SU. From a situational/motivational stand point, they simply don't get much stronger than this, not only did OSU lose to the Nittany Lions at home, but it also lost at Penn State, dropping both games last year. Penn State's DJ Newbill would total 48 points in those two games and is one of the league's best players, but he's been stumbling of late, he was held to just 11 points and matched a season worst with six turnovers in his team's 56-43 win over Nebraska on Saturday. The Nittany Lions have been surprisingly competitve this year I think, there's some room to read between the lines, despite averaging just 59.0 points and shooting only 40.1 percent, Penn State has lost its last five on the road by an average of just 4.2 points. Suffice it to say, I think its offensive inefficiencies finally come come back to bite it today. As stated many times already, I think this is a great situational selection, play on OHIO STATE.
