Ohio State vs Northwestern Betting Pick & Preview – 11/16/2024

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to take on the Northwestern Wildcats on November 16, 2024, at 12:00 pm EST. The current betting odds favor the Buckeyes by 31 points, with the total for the game set at 45.0. Here, we break down Ohio State vs Northwestern and give you our best bet for this big game from the Big Ten.

Ohio State Must Avoid Looking Ahead to Huge Stretch

The Ohio State Buckeyes are in third place in the Big Ten standings, despite being 8-1 overall and 5-1 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes blew Purdue out last week for their third win in a row, keeping their Big Ten title game hopes alive in the process. But they are in an interesting spot heading into this week, as they face two huge games after this one. Ohio State faces undefeated Indiana and rival Michigan in their final two games of the season, making it imperative that they do not overlook Northwestern here.

Make Or Break Stretch Begins For Northwestern

Northwestern needs two wins from its final three games to get to six wins and bowl eligibility. But their schedule is brutal over their final three games of the season, facing contests with Ohio State, Michigan, and a good Illinois team. In this game, the defense of Northwestern will have to play as well as it has played all season against an Ohio State team that has put up points in bunches against some quality defensive units already this year.

Ohio State vs Northwestern Best Bet

We are going to take the under in Saturday’s Ohio State vs Northwestern matchup from Illinois. While the Buckeyes should win this game comfortably, the defense of Northwestern should not be slept on, as they certainly have shown that they can get stops and make things difficult for Big Ten opponents. Look for Ohio State to win this game, but for the game to stay under the total when all is said and done.
