The Big 10 Championship selection is on the Michigan.St Spartans. Game 128 at 8:15 eastern. The Spartans have the #1 ranked defense in the country and that could spell big problems for an Ohio. St team that scores its way out of its defensive deficiencies. There are several solid indicators that apply to this game as well. We note that teams who have won 90% or better of their games that last 2 seasons and playing off a win have covered just once since the inception of these conference title games, provided they are not substantial favorites of 18 or more. Coach Dantoni is a perfect 10-0 to the spread on the road if his teams allowed 125 or less yards rushing in the last 2 games. Mich. St is 15-3 to the spread on the road vs conference opponents off a win and 7-1 straight up and ats with Big 10 revenge. Last time these 2 played it was a 17-16 close win for Ohio. St. This game has that same feel. The dog in the series has covered 3 of the last 4 and the Buckeyes have failed to cover 7 of the last 10 vs an opponent with revenge. Ohio. St will have to play a solid game here and should they win it will be another close affair. We will take the points though a Michigan St should get the cash.
