4* Free 2024 Week 9 NCAA Betting Prediction: Ohio State -25.5
Ohio State has been a juggernaut at home, winning 10 straight in The Horseshoe. Combine that with their 17-3 record against Big Ten opponents, and you can see why they’re such heavy favorites.
Nebraska, meanwhile, has struggled on the road, going 4-12 straight up in their last 16 away games, and they’ve had a tough time against Big Ten competition, winning just two of their last eight.
Our projection for this Ohio State vs. Nebraska matchup is a final score of 42-14 in favor of Ohio State. With the current -25.5 point spread, we expect Ohio State to come out on top and cover the spread as the heavy favorite.
For the over/under, with the line set at 48.5 points, we see a combined score of 56 points, making the over the best bet for this game. With the total where it’s at, this game has all the makings of a classic Ohio State beatdown, but keep an eye on live betting lines.
Nebraska may be scrappy enough to keep it interesting for a while…but I doubt it’ll make a difference. Buckle up, because this one should be a blast, even if the Buckeyes are poised to flex their muscle once again.
