OSU did beat NWern on the road, barely. But, usually, once they get behind they stay behind.
If IU comes out with energy, the game will swing to IU.

Official Prediction Thread: IU 77; OSU 68
- Thread starter IU? I'm Fine
- Start date
Oh, noes! I vary from Vegas?! Uh, remember Maryland?
You may have your opinion. I believe your position isn't supported by what IU is doing just now. I just see IU on a roll.
You don't, cool.

I am not betting against the spread. I'm not betting. I'm predicting.
Ohio State is a good ball team. IU is a good ball team. Right now IU has the right stuff. Ohio State doesn't.
Last game against OSU, Yogi didn't score much. Did a fantastic job distributing and a more than decent job of defending.
Hanner was at the post. Not a good game for Hanner. He was not in the game long.
Blackmon is out of his slump. Yogi is out of his slump. Hartman is playing better than well. We do not turnover the ball. Our team looks like a team. Each player is seeming to enjoy making his teammate excel.
So, yeah, the Maryland game was different. The hoop got very large for IU. But Hartman set the stage. And IU will come back after getting down. OSU doesn't have all of that.
And what is the Vegas line predicated upon? It's mainly what betters' opinions are and what they are willing to bet. I am not sure that has anything major to do with my predictions. I'm a homer. I see this IU game through crimson-colored glasses right now. I'm having some fun.
I live in Ohio. It's about time for the Hoosiers to win here.

Ok, here you go...
The MD game was the largest differential from the spread all yr except our first game, against MVST where we won by 51 pts.
We're 10-8 ATS this year, hardly outperforming Vegas' opinion like you say.
However, I'll now do my best to spin the stats to make your argument for you the best I can. This is cherry picking but since Pitt, we are 8-4 ATS beating the spread by an average of 4.4 points, still a far cry from 16.5 pts the OP has today(depending on which site you use).
For the season, 10-8 ATS with an average butt whooping of the spread by 2 points. Yeah, Vegas is pretty lame.

OSU 77, IU 75.
I still think we can win this one, and I'll be somewhat disappointed if we don't, but you have to give a slight edge to OSU at home.
