On October 1, the Ohio State Buckeyes (4-0) will kick off their fifth game of the season against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-1) at 3:30 p.m. ET in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeyes have dominated this series going in 8-0 against Rutgers straight-up and winning by an average of 42.5 points per game.
Our friends at Tipico, our official odds provider, originally had Ohio State listed as 40.5-point favorites, but the line is getting smaller. The Buckeyes now sit as 39.5-point favorites. It may seem humorous to spend time evaluating why a line that is still over five touchdowns changed by one point, but it is interesting to think that money may be coming in on a Rutgers squad that has such a rough history against Ohio State.
