The 4th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten) and the 3rd-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions (7-1, 4-0) meet Saturday at Beaver Stadium in State College. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (FOX). Below, we look at Ohio State vs. Penn State from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
The Buckeyes might have been caught looking ahead this past Saturday as they barely escaped 21-17 against Nebraska at Ohio Stadium as 25-point favorites. The Under (48.5) hit and is 3-1 in the Buckeyes’ last 3 games as the defense allowed 17 or fewer points in the 3 Under contests.
The Nittany Lions picked up a 28-13 win at Wisconsin Saturday, cashing as a 6.5-point favorite with the Under (46.5) cashing. Penn State will play at home for the first time since Oct. 5. The Nittany Lions are 4-0 at home this season, but they are just 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in those outings. The Under has cashed in their last 3 home games, while going 4-1 in their past 5 outings overall.
