Ohio State opens a 13-point favorite over Michigan State

Ohio State’s season essentially begins Saturday... and they’ll do it as a two-touchdown favorite.

The Buckeyes opened a 13-point favorite over visiting Michigan State Saturday according to Vegas Insider. Ohio State and Michigan State have split their last four meetings, with the Buckeyes winning 49-37 last season in East Lansing but the Spartans taking a 10-7 decision in the clubs’ last meeting in Columbus.

Ohio State hasn’t beaten Michigan State by 13 or more since 2008 - five meetings ago. If you’re into that sort of thing.

Other lines of note for Week 12:


  • Louisville at Pittsburgh (-1.5)
  • LSU at Ole Miss (-4.5)
  • North Carolina (-6) at Virginia Tech
  • Northwestern at Wisconsin (-10.5)
  • Mississippi State at Arkansas (-3)
  • Tennessee (-9) at Missouri
  • Michigan (-5) at Penn State
  • California at Stanford (-12)
  • UCLA (-2) at Utah
  • Notre Dame (-16) vs. Boston College

The biggest game on this week’s slate outside of the goings on in Columbus - TCU at Oklahoma - does not have a line as Vegas waits on word from Fort Worth regarding Trevone Boykin.
