College Football Betting Odds – Ohio State Heavily Favored vs. Minnesota

It should be a rout in college football betting odds on Saturday as Ohio State travels to Minnesota. The Buckeyes are 25.5 point favorites in college football betting lines at the Sbg sportsbook.  This game can be seen regionally on ABC television.

Ohio State Rout
There is nothing to like about Minnesota in this game. They have lost their last seven games, rarely been competitive and face an Ohio State team that has owned them. The only advantage for the Gophers should be the home field but that hasn’t seemed to matter much either. The Buckeyes are normally a good road team as they are 39-15 on the road under head coach Jim Tressel. The Buckeyes have won 19 of their past 21 conference road games.

Series Domination
The Buckeyes have won the last 11 games in Minnesota and 17 of the last 18. Minnesota head coach Jeff Horton realizes that his team is a big underdog and is not expected to win but he did say that his team will go out and play hard. It may not matter though.  Minnesota couldn’t even win at home last week or cover the college football betting lines spread against a poor Penn State team. It is unlikely they will be able to keep it close against the Buckeyes.
