Ohio State @ Oregon: Oct 12 Betting Odds At FanDuel Sportsbook

Oregon is a 1.5 point favorite, which is basically breakeven.

It's OSU.

They never have an "obvious" loss on their schedule. Ever.

I get where you are coming from and obviously Ohio State hasn't lost much in the last 25+ years but

Even at that, Ohio State "only" has six undefeated regular seasons in the last 25 years so they DO lose. 

It is hard to pick the over on 10.5 losses because that only allows one loss and:

• Oregon is on the road and tOSU is currently an underdog. 
• Penn State is on the road
• The Buckeyes haven't beaten Michigan since before COVID.
• The team also has to play the other nine games and even though they'll likely be substantially favored in all nine, upsets do happen.

Although if you go with the conventional wisdom that HFA is worth 3 points, this is essentially the oddsmakers saying they believe OSU is the superior team but projected to lose simply because it's a road game.

Based on 3 points for HFA:

• tOSU -4.5 in Columbus 
• tOSU -1.5 if they met on a neutral field 
• Oregon -1.5 in Eugene

Yeah, the odds makers favor Ohio State, but BARELY.

I'm somewhat surprised that Penn State hasn't been hyped more as a potential B1G champion.  They're returning Drew Allar at QB for his third year as a starter and lots of other talent as well.  Maybe its the beat down by Ole Miss?

Ohio St., Oregon, Penn St., Michigan, Iowa????

with a little luck,...... can Rutgers go 7-2?

This is a problem, I think, with huge conferences.
