Ohio +14 I recognize the perception of this line. Both starting QBs are out (Vick is Questionable), Ohio has a Christmas list of injuries and NIU playing at home with title game on the line…But heres why I think that this line is alittle inflated:
*NIU has “NEVER” beat Ohio by 14 points
*NIU is 1-6 (14.3%) on a -10 pt line vs. OHIO killersports
*NIU is 3-4 SU vs. OHIO killersports
*Ohio is a respectable 7-4 ATS this season
*Ohio will be playing with pride for coach Frank Solich’s last road game and I believe will play NIU tough enough to cover
Both teams, the matchup and overall conference are unattractive to me. But I have to take a shot at grabbing 14 points against a team that has NEVER won by 14 vs. Ohio
