Indiana vs Ohio State Prediction

The current betting odds have OSU listed as a 40 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. OSU just won their last game on the road against Northwestern but they only won that game by 14 points in a low scoring 21-7 win and they did not look very good for most of that game. They struggled to score points in that game a lot and it took a long time for their offense to get going. They didn't look at all like the number 2 team in the country and now with all of the heavy competition for the college football playoffs, they will be looking to make their case once again. Indiana just got crushed at home in their last game by Penn State and Indiana is also one of the worst teams in the Big Ten this season. They have been terrible in their games as they struggled to score on PSU last week and they are going to struggle to score on OSU in this game. OSU got off to a really slow start with their offense in their last game so they will be looking for a much quicker start here and will try to bury Indiana early in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Ohio State to cover the spread in this game.

"Connor is dinged up and obviously didn't dress. Jack went down, still trying for him. Hopefully, we should get Connor back next week." - Tom Allen after his team’s loss against Penn State in their last game.
 
 
"I've never been around conditions like this. It must have been 30-mile-an-hour winds. And if you've ever tried to golf in 30-mile-an-hour winds, it's hard to get off the tee, (let alone) throw a football. We saw this coming, so we had a plan. ... There were times I was concerned about the snap coming back." - Ryan Day after his team’s win against Northwestern in their last game.
