NCAA Football Betting Lines
08/24/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ohio State football announced on Tuesday that it will pay the University of Colorado $1.4 million to play in Columbus next season.
"This will be a great contest between two outstanding BCS teams that share an excellent football tradition," said OSU director of athletics Gene Smith. "I know our fans will enjoy this opportunity."
The schools have only met four times previously, the last coming in a 13-10 Ohio State home triumph in 1986. The Buckeyes have taken three of the four meetings, including a 27-10 decision in the 1976 Orange Bowl.
"Colorado has always recognized the significance of playing marquee opponents in the non-conference portion of our football schedule," noted CU athletic director Mike Bohn. "This is a tremendous opportunity on the national platform to schedule a game with Ohio State, which has been one of the nation's premier programs and whom we have a lot of respect for."
Colorado finished 2009 with a 3-9 record, including a fifth-place standing in the Big 12 North at 2-6.
Ohio State, on the other hand, ended the year at 11-2, won the Big Ten title and took a 26-17 result over Oregon in the Rose Bowl. The Buckeyes' 2011 non- conference slate will also include Akron, Toledo and Miami-Florida.
The OSU-Colorado matchup is scheduled for September 24, 2011.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
