The Ohio State football team opened up the season as the prohibitive favorites to win the Big Ten and make the College Football Playoff. Coming off a disappointing loss to Oregon last week, that may no longer be the case. They have some things they have to fix immediately.

This could be the week to do it. Tulsa has already lost to an FCS opponent and doesn’t look like a good team at all. Ohio State can use this week to fix their defensive struggles and punch it in the end zone on offense. This could be a week to help them get back on track.

It will be another home game for the Buckeyes, so they will have a big crowd in the Shoe once more. If Ohio State wants to have any chance of getting back in the CFP discussion, they have to use this game to get themselves together.

Ohio State football vs. Tulsa Odds Week 3

The Week 3 betting odds on WynnBET have Ohio State listed as a 26.5 point favorite at -110 odds. They also have the over/under set at 61. I think it’s a hard line to set based on how both teams have played thus far this season.

Ohio State football vs. Tulsa Prediction Week 3

Ryan Day is coming off the first loss of his career in the regular season. He was so angry that he didn’t even stay on the field for Carmen Ohio after the loss. I would expect him to light a fire under this team’s butt and get them ready to go for this one.

I don’t feel confident one way or the other on either of these lines because I don’t know how good Ohio State’s defense is going to be. I know that they’re going to win the game, but I’m really unsure by how much at this point. It’s going to be a confusing week.

With that said, give the Buckeyes winning 45-17 right now.
