Arkansas State at Ohio State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arkansas State at Ohio State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves (1-0) and Ohio State Buckeyes (1-0) meet Saturday at Ohio Stadium with kickoff at noon ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Arkansas State at Ohio State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Red Wolves posted a 58-3 rout of FCS Grambling State last weekend in Jonesboro, and Ark State held Grambling to 50 rushing yards and 52 passing yards while running for 339 yards. Needless to say, the sledding will be much tougher this week.

The Buckeyes opened slowly against Notre Dame last weekend, and even trailed 10-7 at half. Ohio State was much better in the final 30 minutes, and the defense pitched a shutout in the 2nd half as the Buckeyes won 21-10 as the Under connected.

Ohio State is No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Arkansas State at Ohio State picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 59, Arkansas State 10

Money line

There was no money line at the time of publishing, but it wouldn’t be worth pursuing anyway.

Against the spread

OHIO STATE -44.5 (-105) had a very slow start against Notre Dame as the offense was mostly held in check. The Buckeyes had a very ordinary 172 rushing yards and 223 passing yards. Arkansas State +44.5 (-115) will offer very little resistance in this 1st-ever meeting.

Look for QB C.J. Stroud, RB TreVeyon Henderson and the Ohio State offense to roll up some huge numbers closer to the 2021 campaign.

Over/Under

OVER 68.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly.

The Buckeyes should do most of the heavy lifting here, and Ohio State should flirt with a 60-burger at home against this Sun Belt foe. The concern is whether or not Ark State will be able to score. The Buckeyes allowed just 10 points, 76 rushing yards and 177 passing yards to a top-5 team last weekend, so the OSU defense appears to be more locked in than the 2021 version.

Arkansas State at Ohio State head-to-head

This is the 1st meeting between these schools on the gridiron.

Arkansas State’s last game against a Power 5 team was a 52-3 loss at Washington last September. Prior to that, the Red Wolves were routed at Georgia 55-0 in 2019. They haven’t faced a Big Ten team since a narrow 43-36 loss at Nebraska to open the 2017 campaign.

Ohio State hasn’t faced a Sun Belt team since topping Troy 28-10 in Columbus back in 2008. OSU hasn’t lost to a non-Power 5 team since a setback against Air Force in the Liberty Bowl in 1990.
