Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State enters this betting on college football matchup with a record of 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the spread.  Extending their strong look was the return of suspended head coach Urban Meyer last week.  OSU pounded Tulane 49-6 for an easy payout.  Following that huge win was the fact that with Meyer the Bucks are a bona fide national title contender.  Just as important is sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins.  In fact, Haskins is already a Heisman Trophy candidate.  Haskins may be the best quarterback Meyer has had in Columbus.  Moreover, the OSU offense ranks third nationally.

Penn State Nittany Lions

Penn State has an offshore betting record of 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the spread.  Additionally, all four of PSU’s games have gone over the total.  Account of the Nittany Lions 63-24 win at Illinois last week has them ranked eighth in the nation.  Supplementing the Penn State reputation is the nation’s top ranked scoring offense.  Balanced against that is a defense that ranks just 44th overall in the nation.  Quarterback Trace McSorley is one of the top game managers in all of college football.  Simultaneously running back Miles Sanders is averaging seven yards per carry with five touchdowns.

Stats to Consider

Ohio State has lost just one of their last 12 against the spread as road favorites of five points or less.  Also, the Bucks have gone over the total in five of their last six in that role.  Counter to that is Penn State’s mark of just five covers in their last 13 games as a home dog.  PSU has gone over the total in five of their last seven as home pups.

Team vs. Team

Penn State did get the money in that close call as the Horseshoe last year.  As a matter of fact, the Nittany Lions have covered three of their last four in this series.  Furthermore, Penn State has covered their last two home games against Ohio State.  Two of the last three in this series at Beaver Stadium have gone over the total.

Matchup to Watch

Betting on college football revenge is what this matchup is all about.  The intangibles are all with the Nittany Lions here.  In the same way Ohio State has struggled recently at Penn State.
