Ohio State heavy, heavy favorite over Akron according to Tipico

Look at the astronomical line Ohio State is favored by this weekend. Cover or no?

The Ohio State football squad will try to continue to improve when it hosts in-state foe and MAC opponent Akron on Saturday. And if you’ve missed watching the Buckeyes play under the lights, you are in luck because that’s exactly what will be happening with this titanic struggle.

We say that tongue and cheek of course because the early line is out on the game and the Buckeyes are favored by a whopping 49.5 points over the Zips according to the sportsbook Tipico.

If you think that’s an astronomical line, you are not in the minority, especially with what we’ve seen from an Ohio State team that’s clearly still trying to figure some things out this year.

What’s even more interesting, is that we’ve seen other initial lines go even higher than that, so it looks like it is correcting somewhat. Either way though, OSU is expected to roll this weekend and we’ll keep an eye on where things go with movement on the Tipico line as we get closer to game day.
