Massive early odds favor Ohio State over Northwestern

It’s that time of the week when we get the early odds for the college football games that will take place this weekend, and if you found our site or are a loyal reader, we’re sure you are interested in what the line has been set for Ohio State football’s matchup with Northwestern on Saturday.

As you would imagine, Ohio State is favored very, very heavily against arguably one of the worst teams in college football this year. We get our odds from Tipico, and the popular online sportsbook has the early odds with Ohio State being a massive minus-38.5 favorite.

That’s a huge number even with the game being in the friendly confines of “Chicago’s Big Ten team,” but it probably makes sense. Northwestern has one win on the season and it took place across the pond in Ireland when the Wildcats beat Scott Frost’s Nebraska Cornhuskers.

We’ll keep an eye on these odds as we go throughout the week, but for now, that’s where things stand.
