Summary

On this Friday edition of Betting the Buckeyes on Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises and Tyler Shoemaker still have a lot to talk about with Ohio State football from a betting perspective, even though the Buckeyes aren't playing this weekend. Plus, they make their usual national picks. In the first segment (0:30), Doug and Tyler talk about why Ohio State's national title odds went way up after the Buckeyes lost to Michigan, then came back down after bettors started betting them. Now Ohio State is 10-1, and is that a good bet, given their chances of making the playoff? Plus, TShoe talks about what the lines might look like for an Ohio State-Michigan rematch, and an Ohio State-Georgia semifinal. Then (22:34), the guys make their picks for the conference championship games in the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12. There are several games Doug and Tyler agree on, which might be bad for Tyler. Finally (41:42), TShoe has one best bet this week, and it's the MAC Championship. Then the advice centers on fighting the urge to bet more in a small week of games. Thanks for listening to Betting the Buckeyes on Buckeye Talk.

0:28.1	That means Doug Lamarings, that's me, Tyler Shoemaker, that's him.
0:30.8	We're talking about Ohio State football from a gambling perspective, and even though
0:34.0	Ohio State tie is not playing this week, we do have a very interesting conversation
0:39.2	around bets that are still flying in on the Buck Guys, and we will get to that in a
0:45.0	second. We will make you and I, we will make a bet each of us a pick on each of
0:50.3	the power five conference championship games this weekend, and then you will have
0:55.7	the best bet for us at the end, and we'll talk a little bit about sort of fighting
0:59.9	urges and handling yourself on a short weekend, when there's not as much
1:04.0	college football action as you action as usual. But let's start here, Tyler Shoemaker.
1:08.0	We could go to the Ohio State Buck Guys, lost to the Michigan Wolverines. You
1:13.2	watch that game with two hats on. The bigger hat is Tyler Shoemaker, fan of the
1:17.8	Ohio State Buck Guys. The smaller hat is gambling guy. As a fan watching that,
1:24.6	experience like going through that, take us through your feelings of that game.
1:30.5	Did you think, all right, I can see Ohio State, they can find their way back
1:35.1	here in the middle of the second half, or did you have bad vibes as the game
1:38.2	was unfolding?
1:40.1	Yeah, that's a good question. I, in the first half, so, you know, marched down
1:44.5	the field, scored, touched down. I'm like, okay, great. We've got to get sevens,
1:47.2	not threes, and then that dissipated immediately, and then every drive after
1:51.8	that either stalled, or was a field goal, and I was watching the game of my son,
