Ohio State opened as a three-score favorite for next week’s game against Penn State.
FanDuel Sportsbook released an opening line of Ohio State -17.5 on Tuesday. The over/under was set at 47.5, setting the implied score at Ohio State 32.5, Penn State 15.
Entering the season, Ohio State was only a 3.5-point favorite to beat Penn State on multiple sportsbooks. Penn State, however, has performed well short of expectations this season, losing its last four games against Oregon, UCLA, Northwestern and Iowa. Head coach James Franklin was fired after the loss to Northwestern, and quarterback Drew Allar suffered a season-ending ankle injury in that game.
