Ohio State at Nebraska picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 71, Nebraska 60

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no value here on either team.

Against the spread

LEAN OHIO STATE -5.5 (-115).

The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings between these teams.

Nebraska has lost back-to-back games by more than 15 points, including a 26-point loss to Illinois at home on Jan. 10. The Cornhuskers rank below 330th in the country in both 3-point percentage and free throw percentage and are up against a Buckeyes team that ranks well in both categories.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 136.5 (-105).

Nebraska is 2-8 O/U in its last 10 games and is 3-14-1 O/U overall this season. The Under has hit in 4 straight home games for the Cornhuskers.

Due to the Cornhuskers’ low offensive efficiency, until they can prove themselves as a team who can compete and put the ball in the basket more frequently, ride the Under.

Ohio State at Nebraska odds, picks and prediction

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

The No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) and Nebraska Cornhuskers (3-6, 1-5) get together Saturday for a noon ET Big Ten crossover game at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. Below, we look at the Ohio State vs. Nebraska odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Ohio State wasn’t at its best last week against Penn State, but the Buckeyes managed a 33-24 win over the then 17th-ranked Nittany Lions. OSU had to work around 10 penalties and a lackluster red-zone performance in clocking its sixth consecutive win. The Buckeyes would eventually get their run game going as they outrushed the Lions 161 yards to 33.

The Cornhuskers suffered their third consecutive setback with a 28-23 home loss to Purdue last Saturday as they were held to just six points in the second half. All six of the Huskers’ losses this season — and nine of the program’s last 10 since last fall — have been by eight or fewer points.

Ohio State at Nebraska odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 38, Nebraska 24

Money line

Nebraska was 2-2 with some shaky offensive indicators over its first four games this season, and is 1-3 over its last four games, but with some improved indicators. The Cornhuskers’ 36th-ranked passing attack (267.1 yards per game) should be able to make some plays against an OSU defense that has sometimes been soft against the aerial game. The ‘Huskers are balanced enough to stay within a score or 10 points against the Buckeyes in an early-Saturday game on the heels of a big Saturday-night atmosphere last week.

Some of the air has been taken out of this play by the price on Nebraska dropping during the week. However, there’s still just enough leverage to warrant perhaps a partial-unit play on the CORNHUSKERS (+440) as a value play in the event they pull off an upset.

Against the spread

The Cornhuskers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs.

Nebraska has a turnover margin of minus-3 on the season; Ohio State has a plus-8. A bit of gravity in those numbers and with OSU metrics on getting drive stops inside its 30 makes for just a bit of interest in the Nebraska side with this spread.

Against a powerful Buckeye team fighting for attention from the playoff committee, the lean is a slight one: consider a partial-unit play on NEBRASKA +14.5 (-108).

Over/Under

This number has edged higher by a couple points during the week and it’s reached the point where there is moderate value to zagging and taking the UNDER 67.5 (-112).

First look: Ohio State at Nebraska odds and lines

Previewing the Ohio State Buckeyes at Nebraska Cornhuskers Week 10 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers (1-5, 3-6) Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Buckeyes and ‘Huskers will tee it off at noon ET at Memorial Stadium. Below, we look at the Ohio State vs. Nebraska odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Ohio State travels west after a 33-24 home win over the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday night. The Buckeyes were undone by 10 penalties and were slow to get their top-flight offense on track against a solid PSU defense. But OSU would eventually get 152 rushing yards from freshman RB TreVeyon Henderson and grind out the two-score victory.

The Cornhuskers suffered its third consecutive setback with a 28-23 home loss to Purdue. Nebraska was held to just six points in the game’s second half. All six of the Huskers’ losses this season — and nine of the program’s last 10 since last fall — have been by one score.
