Michigan State is on a two-game skid, most recently suffering a 67-37 blowout loss at Rutgers Thursday as a 4-point underdog. It was the Spartans’ first game since a Jan. 8 home loss (55-54) on a late 3-pointer by Purdue. In between, MSU had three games postponed due to COVID-19 issues within its program. Aaron Henry and Joey Hauser, both junior forwards, are the only two Spartans scoring in double figures at 13.4 and 11.3 points per game, respectively.Ohio State enters on a two-game winning streak and has won five of its last six. The Buckeyes are coming off a tight 83-79 victory in which F E.J. Liddell scored a team-high 22 points, including the tiebreaking free throws with 57 seconds to go. The sophomore forward, who was a perfect 10-for-10 at the free-throw line vs. PSU, leads Ohio State in scoring (15.0 PPG) and rebounds (6.8 RPG).The Spartans have won the last four vs. the Buckeyes, including an 80-69 home victory March 8, 2020, in the lone head-to-head matchup last season. The victory earned Michigan State, which was a 6.5-point favorite, its third consecutive Big Ten regular-season title, which it shared with Maryland and Wisconsin.Special College Basketball Betting Promotion!

Michigan State at Ohio State: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Ohio State 74, Michigan State 65
Money line (ML)
Ohio State (-300) will snap its four-game skid to Michigan State, but I can’t suggest betting three times the potential return. PASS.
Against the spread (ATS)
OHIO STATE -6.5 (-115) is the play. This is possibly head coach Tom Izzo’s worst team at Michigan State since he took the helm in 1995 when the Spartans finished 16-16. MSU is reeling and OSU will take advantage.
ATS: Michigan State 3-10 Ohio State 9-7-1
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 143.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. The Spartans are struggling to score and their offense ranks last in the conference at 62.9 PPG in Big Ten games. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes defense ranks fourth in the conference, yielding 69.5 PPG in Big Ten action.
O/U records: Michigan State 6-7 Ohio State 10-7

2020 Ohio State Win Total Odds
Ohio State 2020 wins: Over 11 (-134) or Under 11 (+110)
Expectations for Ohio State are so high again this year, that bettors looking to cash an 'over' ticket on their regular season win total odds will need them to run the table once again. QB Justin Fields enters the year as a Heisman front-runner, and there is no denying that the Buckeyes are one of the most talented teams in the land.
2020 Ohio State Buckeyes Schedule
- Week 8 - Oct. 24 vs. Nebraska
- Week 9 - Oct. 17 at Penn State
- Week 10 - Oct. 31 vs. Rutgers
- Week 11 - Nov. 7 at Maryland
- Week 12 - Nov. 14 vs. Indiana
- Week 13 - Nov. 21 at Illinois
- Week 14 - Nov. 28 at Michigan State
- Week 15 - Dec. 5 vs. Michigan
However, a road trip to Oregon in Week 2 is never an easy trip for any visiting program, and while they do get to host the hated Michigan Wolverines this year, they've got back-to-back weeks in October where they've got to go to Michigan State and Penn State. Ohio State will still be laying points in all of those games, but needing to run the table on an 'over' play leaves next to nothing in terms of wiggle room for them this year.

2020 Ohio State Game of the Year Odds
- Week 9 - Ohio State (-6.5) at Penn State
- Week 15 - Michigan at Ohio State (-11.5)
Three games for the Buckeyes are already classified in this category and they are the three that you would expect to be here.
Their trip to Happy Valley to face Penn State has a posted line of -6.5. And then there is the annual showdown with Michigan, a rivalry game that the Buckeyes have won eight years in a row. Current odds have Ohio State laying -11.5 points at home for that contest this year, and if they cover double digit spreads in 2020 at the rate they did in 2019, this number will do nothing but go up.
Ohio State Odds to win Big 10 Championship
Yes (-230)
Osu V Um Betting Line
The Buckeyes are a clear cut favorite to claim another Big 10 title in 2020 and rightfully so. With them already listed as favorites -6.5 or more in their perceived three toughest games of the year, the lofty spreads they'll have to cover in the rest of their games are going to be large, meaning that outright wins shouldn't be an issue for this team.
Barring significant injury, Ohio State should end up winning the Big Ten conference again in 2020, as long as they are able to do what they've done for the past eight years and beat Michigan. At home, they likely will, so it's more of a question if bettors want to lay the -230 price on them or not. It may arguably be a better wager then going 'over' their win total of 11.
Ohio State Odds to Make 2020-21 College Football Playoff
Yes (-230) or No (+180)
Same question comes up here in terms of wanting to lay the price or not, as a Big 10 title all but assures the winner of a playoff spot, as long as they've got one or fewer losses to their name. It's one of the deepest conferences from top to bottom in the country, and that has worked against the conference as a whole in both 2017-18 and 2018-19 when the Big 10 was on the outside of the College Football Playoffs, and three of the past four years have seen Big 10 teams ranked 5th or 6th to miss out.
But the 2020 version of Ohio State isn't likely to be involved in those types of questionable selection committee scenarios, as they'll likely either win the conference with ease (one loss or less), or stumble a couple of times and get beat by one of their rivals for the conference crown.
Ohio State Odds to Win 2020-21 College Football Playoff
Yes (+300)
The futures odds on Ohio State winning the National Championship all might be the better betting play to make from a value standpoint, as they'll no doubt be 'live' to go the distance if they do indeed find themselves in the playoff. This way, you don't have to lay a -230 price if you would prefer not to, and should they be one of the final four teams left standing, future hedging opportunities are more readily available to bettors who choose to go this route.
Ohio State Odds for Players to win the 2020 Heisman Trophy
The Buckeyes currently have two players listed in the Heisman Trophy Odds betting market.
(Position, Big 10 Player, School, Odds)- QB Justin Fields, Ohio State 7/2
- RB Trey Sermon, Ohio State 33/1
Ohio State Buckeyes – Postseason Forecast
2020 should be another year where the Ohio State Buckeyes find themselves in another prominent Bowl game regardless of whether or not it's part of the playoff format or not. As a team with a chalk price to simply make the playoffs, that's something that's hard to ignore, although a potential early season slip up – say, in Oregon – could have their year spiral out of control. But bettors should expect this team to be in the playoff conversation all year long.
Ohio State Buckeyes Season Prediction
Betting Line Osu Vs Um
Buckeyes QB Justin Fields is the Heisman favorite currently (+350), and while the preseason favorites tend to not get there in the end, bettors can't deny his talent at all. He stepped right into the fire in his first year with Ohio State in 2019, and with how the year ended, he and his teammates have to feel like they've got some unfinished business to attend to in 2020.
Road trips to Oregon and Penn State are some big potential land minds to avoid for them though, and while things vs Michigan have been rather easy for the better part of the past decade, chances are it's not going to be like that forever. Finishing 2020 with an 11-1 straight-up (SU) record and Big 10 title is where the Buckeyes season likely lands, which makes that -230 price on the conference crown something that should be worth laying.

Buckeyes 2019 Betting Recap
2019 was a year that saw the Ohio State Buckeyes run the table in the regular season, going 12-0 SU and then winning the Big 10 title and earning a CFB Playoff berth as the #2 team in the country because of it. They won all 13 of those games by double digits, were a point spread darling in the betting markets at 9-4 ATS through the Big 10 title game. A run of eight straight ATS wins where they were -14.5 point favorites or greater in every game from Game 2 through Game 9 will be a run many bettors remember for awhile.

Yet, what Ohio State football players will remember is them coughing up a 16-0 lead in the CFB Semi-final game vs Clemson, not punching enough scoring drives into the end zone early, and paying for it later when Clemson scored with under two minutes left in the game to win. That loss sets the Buckeyes up for a year of redemption in 2020, as they are once again loaded with talent across the board and expected to have a shot to play for the national championship once again.
