Ohio State vs Penn State Prediction and Betting Picks – 11/2/2024
The biggest game in college football in Week 10 is without a doubt the Ohio State vs Penn State showdown from Happy Valley. Both teams are in the top-five in the rankings going into this game, with Ohio State favored by 3.5 points according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The total for the game is set at 47.5 and we have you covered with our college football betting picks for this massive matchup in the Big Ten.
Ohio State Looks For More Convincing Performance
The Ohio State Buckeyes are 6-1 overall this season and 3-1 in the Big Ten, but their level of play has left a lot to be desired over their last couple of games. After losing to Oregon before their bye week, the Buckeyes snuck by with a four-point win at home over Nebraska last week. Here, Ohio State will look to not just get a win that will keep them in the Big Ten title hunt, but they will be looking to play better football overall to avoid being shifted to the bubble in the race to make the College Football Playoff.
Can Penn State Pass Huge Test, Stay Undefeated?
So far this season, Penn State has passed every test put in front of them. They are 7-0 overall and 4-0 in Big Ten play, scoring back-to-back road wins over USC and Wisconsin going into this matchup against Ohio State. Penn State’s defense has been one of the best in the country all season long, with the exception of a slight stumble in their overtime victory over USC. Here, that defense will need to be at its best to stop Jeremiah Smith and all of the other weapons that Ohio State has in its passing game. That is especially true with Drew Allar suffering a knee injury this past week against Wisconsin, with his status for this game being uncertain.
Ohio State vs Penn State Best Bet
Our level of anticipation for Ohio State vs Penn State could not possibly be higher, as there is so much on the line in that matchup. As for our best bet, we will take the points with Penn State. While Ohio State is certainly capable of playing like the best team in the country in any given week, their recent wobbles leave us concerned that they will struggle against an elite defense in a truly hostile environment. Look for this game to be decided by a field goal in either direction in a game that should live up to the hype, though bettors may want to wait for news on Allar’s status before making any decisions.
