Ohio State Buckeyes Betting
The Ohio State Buckeyes are the most-bet college program in Ohio and one of the most heavily wagered college football teams in the entire country. After winning the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff in 2024, Ohio State enters every season as a top-five national title favorite. Important note: Ohio banned college player props in February 2026, so prop markets are now limited to team totals, spreads, and futures.
Betting Angles
Buckeyes home games at Ohio Stadium routinely line as 17+ point favorites, making the alt spread market and team total markets the primary betting angles. The Game vs Michigan in late November is the highest-handle college football game in Ohio every year.
