Miscellaneous Bets
+ After nine weeks, my Ohio State experiment stands at +$380. The Buckeyes are 6-2-1 ATS this year. Ohio State is idle this week.
+ After nine weeks, my Alabama experiment is at +$280. The Tide are 5-2-1 ATS this year. 'Bama is a 6-point favorite at LSU Saturday.
+ To win $100 on the Ohio State money line last week, a bettor had to risk $3,000. Through nine OSU games this year, money-line wagerers have had to lay $74,805 to win $800. The Buckeyes are idle this week, so take your money-line jones somewhere else.
