We suck. Season's over. Time to drop down to the MVC. Might actually win some games down there.

I am stuck between the following two wagers on DK:

Ohio Under 19.5 Points -115
Iowa State over 2.5 touchdowns -115

I honestly love both, thoughts?

With no reason to base this on I just feel like the offense is going to have a big game. I’m hoping the Iowa game was a wake up call especially for WRs. I think Higgins will be the target going forward instead of Noel. Which Higgins impressed me in the 4th quarter. He definitely was the Offensive MVP. I’m also hoping Noel got alligator arms and hopefully won’t have drops this game. This just feels like a game that we will score 24+ points.

Ohio 2nd half team total under 9.5. JH defense lock down in the 2nd half. If the game is relatively close (within 2 tds) and the importance of winning this game and given our pedestrian offense I feel confident that the defense will keep them under a TD and FG.

My feel for this game is the defense scores and ISU covers.

I have a rule to only bet O/U on ISU, but I might have to lay 3 points. If we lose... well I can just about be done with football for 2023 and not worry about betting on it.

Ohio just won at FAU (no idea if they were expected to be good this year) and it's on the road. I think we win by 14+
FWIW, FAU's QB is Casey Thompson, who looked pretty good at Nebraska despite not much else around him going well.

Ohio held FAU to 10 points. I thought Tom Herman was one of our better play callers during his short time here. Not a high bar at all, but still impressive for Ohio especially on the road.

I like Rocco, but I don't think he's anywhere close to Casey Thompson right now. I'm don't even think Hunter Dekkers would have been very close to Casey Thompson this year.

This gives me pause, and I kind of understand the line. I'm not worried about our defense, but what if the offense or special teams gives up cheap points again. Certainly not unthinkable at ISU.

Even if we win 13-10 or something along those lines, the -3 line seems reasonable. I can definitely see us stuck in neutral, but winning ugly in the ugliest of games.

I just looked at DK. Never used it before. Seems interesting. The easiest bet would be Noel o/u 61.5 yards receiving. Has he ever gotten more than 60 yards receiving? His routes are 2 yards and he can't catch. What am I missing?
