The Buckeyes have won their last two games by the exact same margin of 62-3. According to the NCAA football betting odds, another lopsided victory might be on the way. OSU beat the spread in their first four games of the regular season, and then failed to cover it in the next four. However, the Buckeyes have covered massive NCAA football betting point spreads the last couple of games versus the Nebraska Huskers and Maryland. As for the Spartans, they still have a chance to pick up one more win this regular season; it’ll just have to wait until the season closer, though.
