It’s no surprise that most college football websites, analysts, and oddsmakers have Ohio State favored to win the Big Ten again. The team should be loaded once again, and likely favored in every game when all the odds come out. In fact, our friends at BetMGM already have lines on some of the Buckeyes’ bigger games, and odds on OSU winning the conference.
Since we’re talking about it, let’s drill down to a little further and look at what BetMGM set odds at for the Big Ten East division. Of course, if it has Ohio State as the favorite to win the conference, it also has the Buckeyes as the overwhelming favorite to win the division.
So let’s get down to business, shall we? The line for OSU is set at -200, meaning you have to bet $200 just to win $100. So what team is a distant second? How about Penn State at +325. Behind the Nittany Lions are Michigan (+400), Indiana (+1,600), Michigan State (+2,000), and Maryland (+2,500). Rutgers is hilariously not listed.
You can see the rest of the odds by going straight to BetMGM’s college football section of the website below.

Urban Meyer confident there will be football this fall amid coronavirus measures https://t.co/eTfdthpvM7

This fall — as long as it all goes on without the COVID-19 pandemic causing any issues — it should be another fun season in Columbus. So far, we’ve seen Justin Fields as a Heisman contender, Ohio State’s offense expected to be the best in the country, and the Buckeyes a consensus College Football Playoff contender.
