Ohio State Football game Saturday: Ohio State vs. Maryland odds and prediction for Week 6

The Ohio State football team is coming off perhaps their best game of the season after beating Rutgers 52-13. They now take on a Maryland team that struggled mightily against Iowa on Friday night but does have an extra day to prepare for the Buckeyes.

It’s a game that will tell us whether or not what we saw on Saturday from Ohio State is for real. It’s a good opportunity for them to show continued progress right before their bye week. Another good game could help them in the eyes of the College Football Playoff Committee.

Ohio State football vs. Maryland odds Week 6

The Week 6 odds on WynnBET have Ohio State as 21 point favorites over the Terrapins right now. That makes sense after the turnover-fest that Maryland had on Friday night, coughing up the ball 6 times. The over/under currently sits at 69.5, which is pretty high.

Ohio State football vs. Maryland prediction Week 6

It finally seems like the Buckeyes are hitting their stride after some rough games early in the season against inferior competition. C.J. Stroud seems healthy and that looks to have made a world of difference in the effectiveness of the offense.

Because of that and how good the defense looked against Rutgers, I like Ohio State to win 42-14. This is Homecoming for Ohio State and a lot of alumni will be back in town for the game. It also ends a stint of three of the last four games being at the Shoe. There shouldn’t be too much trouble for the Buckeyes.

If they keep winning games like this, they have a clear path to the CFP. But they have to win the game first, and that’s all Ryan Day will be thinking about this week. Most of the distractions are gone now. They can just focus on football.
