OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has a winning pick on Penn State (+10) to Ohio State.<\/p>\n

Why not back the Nittany Lions today? Of course they are outmanned in a major way but Talor Battle is a star and\u00a0Penn State has been playing some great\u00a0defense of late. Ed DeChellis knows that his team can\u2019t go up and down with big bad Ohio State if they are to have a chance but that was the case against both Wisconsin and Michigan State and they passed those tests with flying colors.<\/p>\n

Jared Sullinger is\u00a0an amazing freshman and the Buckeyes are ridiculously loaded with\u00a0Lighty, Diebler, Lauderdale, Craft and others forming what probably is the best team in the nation. In this spot Thad Matta\u2019s team is certainly Goliath but it\u2019s not like the Bucks have been all that of late at all.<\/p>\n

Yesterday State let\u00a0Michigan back in it late for the backdoor cover and the day before they were outplayed by Northwestern in a game that they probably deserved to lose before getting bailed out in overtime in the end. If OSU comes to play all guns ablaze then they are clearly the far superior team and could win going away. But Penn State\u2019s defense has been extremely stifling of late as they allowed only 33 points against\u00a0Bo Ryan\u2019s Badgers\u00a0and yesterday gave up a meager 48 to Tom Izzo\u2019s Spartans. The Nittany\u2019s have now won\u00a0four straight games and five of their last six and let\u2019s not forget how they only lost by three\u00a0in the middle of the season on the road at Ohio State.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s asking a\u00a0lot for Penn State to compete but they are peaking at the exact right time and are a legitimate good ballclub right now. If that\u2019s not good enough to stay within single digits then so be it but my money\u2019s on the surging Nittany Lions plus the handsome number.<\/p>\n

The pick: Penn State<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>Today is the day! The day where a perfect storm has arrived and I\u2019m not getting caught out in the water. I\u2019m red hot and see a play that is beyond belief and an absolute steal. One\u00a0beyond insane 500,000* play that will once again define how great of a handicapper I truly am.<\/p>\n

Things have been phenomenal of late as I have won six of the last seven days and have gone 10-4 netting over 2.2 million* of profit over the past week alone. It has all been leading to today where I am going for the Crookie\u2019s jugular and flat out destroying him. 500,000* ACC Championship bomb, Duke and North Carolina. I did just win against the Tar Heels over the past two games but I also backed them in that easy last win over Duke in Chapel Hill. What gives?
