The spread between Ohio State and Washington got narrower as sportsbooks updated their betting lines for the start of game week on Sunday.
Following Washington’s 59-24 win over Washington State in the Apple Cup on Saturday, Ohio State is now favored to beat the Huskies by just 9.5 points at both FanDuel and DraftKings. The Buckeyes opened as an 11.5-point favorite on DraftKings and a 13.5-point favorite on FanDuel last week.
Ohio State’s trip to Seattle will serve as both its first road game and its first conference game of the season. The Buckeyes had the benefit of an extra week of rest and preparation, as they had a bye in Week 4, while the Huskies are coming off an in-state rivalry game.
