- Ohio State Point Spread +3.5 at BYU [CBB, 9 pm et Monday]
At the time of this writeup the majority of the tickets are on BYU yet the money is split and actually slightly more money is on Ohio State. That is a good sign that the public is backing the Cougars while the bigger money is backing the Buckeyes. Ohio State does have the better backcourt even with John Mobley a question mark here. I do expect him to play or this line would already be much different. BYU is the ranked team and yet they are favored only by the home court edge amount normally assigned to home teams. That is another sign pointing to Ohio State here. I concur with the bigger money on the dog for this one (money ratio to tickets) and my models are showing the probabilities favoring a game result of the Buckeyes winning outright or just losing this game by the slimmest margin of a single point.
