Ohio State vs Maryland Prediction

The current betting odds have Ohio State listed as a 27.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Ohio State has been having a great season this year as they are the number 2 team in the country right now and are one of the few teams left that are still undefeated. Ohio State has looked really good in their last few games though and they have been starting to ramp up as their game with Michigan is nearing and that is going to be a very important game to both sides. Maryland has been terrible in their games lately though as their offense has been struggling a lot and they failed to even score a point against Penn State last week. They have struggled a lot against teams with good defenses this season and Ohio State is going to be another team they struggle to score on here. Ohio State also has the best offense in the country so if Maryland can't keep up on offense here then they have no shot at keeping this a close game since Ohio State will just keep putting up points until they run away with this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Ohio State to cover the spread in this game.
