Summary

On this episode of Betting the Buckeyes on Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises and Tyler Shoemaker are talking about the possible live betting opportunity on Ohio State on Saturday night. TShoe's ratings have Wisconsin as a top-15 team, so the fact that Ohio State is favored by 18.5 points might be a bit high. Might it take a quarter for Buckeyes' defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to adjust to Wisconsin? If so, a first-quarter Wisconsin score could set up a live betting chance on Ohio State, and Doug and TShoe discuss what that means. Then, it's time for picks, with love of a Pac-12 team, belief in a Big Ten team, and expected mercy from an SEC team. Finally, Tyler gives out his upset special and his three best bets of the week. Then there's a tip about betting over/unders, even as Doug messes up the advice by falling for a quarterback. Thanks for listening to Betting the Buckeyes on Buckeye Talk.

Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:26.0

Welcome back to Betting the Buck Eyes on Buck I Talk. That means it's me, Doug Lamar-Eason.

0:30.0

It's Tyler Schumaker, the official bookmaker of Buck I Talk. We do three things here.

0:34.5

If you're new to the show, if you're back, welcome. Maybe you need a reminder. We talk about the

0:38.2

Ohio State football game from a gambling perspective. That's Ohio State Wisconsin on Saturday night.

0:43.0

Then T-Shu and I each make a pick from all power five conferences, five picks. Each, a bet,

0:49.2

hey, we'll try this. And then in the weeds, at the end, it's money-making time,

0:53.6

upside of the week, and where Tyler really gets inside, maybe some off the radar games. But Tyler,

0:58.3

I do want to utilize your proprietary system, the numbers that you create, the algorithm,

1:05.6

the T-Shu, whatever it is. You'll robot that you have made. I envision that you make a robot,

1:10.0

then the robot types things into a computer. You've created that. What do your numbers tell us about

1:15.6

the quality of the Ohio State opponent this week, the two-in-one Wisconsin Badgers?

1:20.8

Yeah. Well, they're definitely better than a two-in-one team that lost a Washington state.

1:24.5

For sure. I've got the power rate at 13th in the country. The rating, the rating, not ranking,

1:30.4

but their rating is around 15, which means they're about 15 points better than an average FBS team,

1:36.6

which is kind of in the LSU-USC range right now. So that kind of gives you some context as to where

1:43.0

this team kind of lies. So if we had LSU coming into Ohio Stadium Saturday,

1:47.2

think how much juice that would have. And that's essentially what we're looking at right here.

1:51.2

It is having rewatched that Wisconsin Washington state game. They were so much better than

1:56.8

the Washington state and they did everything they could possibly do to lose that game with penalties

2:02.0

and turnovers. They gave up a gigantic kick return that set up a score for Washington state.

2:07.4

You looked at the score and I was like, oh, this is a week two. I was like, I guess Wisconsin's
