Bet Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Odds
Before we get to our picks for this contest, let’s take a look at the latest odds.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made Wisconsin a 3.5-point home underdog against Ohio State in Week 7. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 49 points.
The Buckeyes moved into the top spot in the top-25 standings on Sunday after Alabama lost to South Carolina last weekend. OSU is a perfect 6-0 on the year and is an impressive 5-1 against the spread. That said, they’re 0-1 ATS in their only road game of the year (at Illinois).
The Badgers, meanwhile, are 5-1 on the year, but a putrid 1-5 against the spread. They’re 4-0 at home, but just 1-3 against the number, which includes a failed cover against lowly San Jose State.
The Pick:
It’s tempting to take Ohio State given how solid they’ve been against the number this year and how dreadful Wisconsin has been, but the real value is in the under.
The total has gone under in five of the last five meetings between these two teams in Wisconsin and is also 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall. The Buckeyes are allowing just 13.5 points per game this year, while the Badgers are surrendering only 14.8 PPG at home. Our pick is the under in what should be a hard-nosed defensive battle throughout.
