At first glance, I have to agree with this assessment, Heatwave.... but for the sake of Game of the week, after digging deeper under neath the rankings, I side with Urban Myers more and more... Beside the spot favors O St big time.
Of the 20 games won SU after bye, the avg margin of victory at home is crazy..... Before joining Oh st, of the 4 games playing at home it was 36..... Since Oh st, the avg of 5 wins was 28. Here we're laying a single digit...
Yes, this is against number 2 team... but there were many great teams within that span too.
Something to consider....Ohio St has played 2 teams with a winning record this year: Oklahoma(and we know what happened there) and Army.
I won't be shocked if Ohio St wins as this should be a great game....but I personally like PSU to win and (especially with the points).
Good luck to all!

Don't forget that Penn State has significant revenge on their minds also. They won the BigTen and got snubbed for the CFP by a team that they beat.
I think PSU wins straight up but minimally will cover. PSU's offense will get theirs, I think this game comes down to the PSU D vs OSU O. Can PSU stop both Barrett and Dobbins?
I lean to OSU, young talented team is maturing, coming off a bye really matters in this spot, artificial turf for home team helps their speed advantage, the OSU offense is simply better and the defense is also better than PSU, OSU has a better big game coach IMO who will find a way to take out a weapon or two of PSU.
