PSU 11.5 Point Favorite

Seems crazy high to me.

Boy I don't know. That Michigan offense looks awfully pedestrian. O'Korn sure has the look of someone who can easily be rattled. Not a good thing for a night white out at Beaver Stadium. I'm not a getting man but I can see the PSU train start rolling downhill on Saturday and Michigan having no way to counter it.

yikes, a lot of money on Michigan soon?
The line changed by 1 point in first 10 minutes which isn't surprising and then by another 1/2 point in the next 20.

10/15 4:30pm PENNST-12.5 -110 MICH+12.5 -110
10/15 4:35pm PENNST-11.5 -110 MICH+11.5 -110
10/15 4:40pm PENNST-11.5 -120 MICH+11.5 +100
10/15 5:10pm PENNST-11 -105 MICH+11 -115

I want to see that happen
A lot. I would like to see us brutalize them. Even a "Harbaugh down and out" where you send a big WR or TE to run over Harbaugh as you throw it oob over everyones heads.

But i can't get through this week assuming it's gonna happen. Destroys my vibe.

Suckers!
 
Man that seems high to me. PSU has yet to operate smoothly in all phases against decent competition. That and the dismal record against UM had me expecting something on the order of -6

I hope it gets below 10, but it won't. We'll see how the line moves once the syndicates get involved later in the week. Always hard to tell what's up with the opening line moves. Sometimes it's just numbers grab, but sometimes guys are trying to move lines to get a more favorable line when the betting limits go up.
 
Michigan fan here, You guys will cover easily if you don't make mistakes. We have the worst passing offense you will see all year. Just stack the box and play man press coverage.

12 surprised me, struck me as a bit high. But like you, I can't really see a single-digit number.

I figure it gets to 10 and sticks. We'll see.

That's a penn state line

I'd have guessed PSU -7/8..... that line of 11/12 tells me PSU big.

What do you figure the over/under on Turnovers caused by O'Korn? I'll go conservative and say 3. Proabably 2 INTs and one fumble during a sack.
 
Night game/white out, PSU off a bye, UM back to back road games, PSU revenge factor. It all adds up. I just bet -10.
I hope you prosper, but there’s something scary about facing a team with a good defense and a kicker that can regularly nail 3pts once his team moves the ball to the opponents’ 30 yd line.

Correct. Keep your eye on the total, that's what I'm doing.
 
I actually think we may score on defense in this one.
yeah, was thinking the same thing, Howie....a defensive score by PSU, and the game could get ugly for UM....they certainly don't look like a come-from-behind team

So, yeah, the spread seems high, but some elements (last year's results, Michigan's QB weakness, white-out, etc.) are in place that can produce a big margin for PSU.

Beaver Stadium is one of the tougher stadiums in the nation for long field goals, especiall at night with the all white backdrop that fades into black almost instantly at the higher eye level.
 
My concern is not PS defending the Michigan offense. I feel comfortable with that.
I am not comfortable with PS moving the ball on a regular basis against the UM defense. It is stout. Just not sure. I know about the front 7 for them, could someone share UM secondary information?

Talented but very young. Hill is their best IMO, but again he is very very young. Not a ton of experience back there, but yes, they have talent. They do not have anyone to match up with Gesicki, and will give up height to Blacknall and Johnson.
 
Line moved to -9.5

They got the early action they wanted. This is the third time this year the opening line has moved down 2 points. Note: Those are consensus lines and not individual casino lines. Also, I'm seeing 10, not 9.5, and I can't find a total so far.

Yeah you're right all the casinos are at -10

Your O doesn’t look great. But our OL v. your DL?
Sure hope we cream UM, but that’s a lot of points give these defenses.
Ha. Guess I hope you’re right. See you Saturday. Will be electric.
