Ohio State at Michigan State Pick & Prediction – 9/28/2024
The Ohio State Buckeyes are favored by 24 points in their upcoming matchup against the Michigan State Spartans on September 28, 2024, at 7:00 pm ET. According to DraftKings Sportsbook odds, 33% of the spread bets are on Ohio State, while 67% are on Michigan State. The total of 48 points has seen 4% of bets on the under and 96% on the over. It's set to be an exciting game between these two college football powerhouse teams and we have broken down this Ohio State vs Michigan State matchup in the betting markets in this preview of the game in the Big Ten.
Ohio State Opens Big Ten Play After 3-0 Start
The Ohio State Buckeyes have won each of their first three games of the college football season. They have crushed Akron, Western Michigan, and Marshall to begin their 2024 campaign. But things are about to get at least a little tougher for Ohio State, as they start their Big Ten schedule on the road against Michigan State on Saturday. Ohio State's defense has allowed just 20 total points through their first three games of the season. But they were pushed around a bit by Marshall last week in the first half and will need to be careful not to get off to a slow start that could open the door for the Spartans to pull off an upset.
Can Michigan State Rebound From First Loss?
Michigan State is 3-1 going into this week's Ohio State vs Michigan State clash. The Spartans won their first three games of the season before dropping a game for the first time last week on the road against Boston College. Even in that loss, Michigan State's defense was impressive, as they have allowed 24 or fewer points in all four of their games this year. But the Spartans have yet to face a team anywhere near as explosive as this Ohio State team, which could mean a downturn in the level of defensive performance for Michigan State in this contest.
Ohio State vs Michigan State Best Bet
Ohio State should be able to win this game against rivals Michigan State without too much trouble. But asking them to cover a 24-point spread might be too much to ask of them. Instead, our best bet for this Ohio State vs Michigan State matchup is for the game to stay under the total from East Lansing. Look for Ohio State's defense to continue to lock down opponents here, while the Spartans will hold their own against the Ohio State offense.
