I got Alabama to win NC -180 two weeks ago and last week I got them again at -225. Would you leave it alone? Take OSU +7.5 and hope it middles? Look for alternate lines?

I would take Ohio State +3.5 +170 right now for half of your combined wager. (I.E. risking combined $2000 to win $1000 I would risk $500 to win $850). Of Ohio state wins outright you cut your losses nearly in half. If Alabama wins by 7 you still win half of the original amount. If Alabama wins by a FG you cash both tickets. A lot of scenarios for that to happen. Alabama late FG, OT and Ohio State kicks FG and Alabama answers with TD for 3 point OT win as no XP). You made a nice play now don’t give back your advantage unless something in it for you.

I think whatever you decide to do, you should do it for HALF the amount you would win on the Alabama Moneyline. Thats pretty much what those of us who do this for a living use as a gold standard. You did some good handicapping, why give it all back?
