The line is out for the top ten matchup between Ohio State and Indiana, and the first odds published by BetMGM has the Buckeyes as a -20.5 favorite.
The popular online sportsbook has fallen in line with a lot of other popular sites that have OSU as a three-touchdown favorite at home, and that seems a little curious. The wide gap probably speaks more for what these teams have done in most recent years as opposed to where both are today because Indiana has shown itself to be a very good team this year. In fact, head coach Tom Allen has the Hoosiers inside the top ten of both major polls.

The matchup between the two Big Ten East leaders might end up being the biggest game of the year in the conference, we just don’t know yet. However, it’s big enough that FOX’s PR department has announced that the popular Big Noon Kickoff Show featuring former Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer will originate from Columbus next week as it televised the game in its coveted Noon slot.
