Ohio State Football game Saturday: Ohio State vs. Utah odds and prediction for Rose Bowl
By Ryan Stano
This is it! The final Ohio State football game of the season is finally upon us. While the Buckeyes, and most of the fans of the Buckeyes, wish they were playing for some higher stakes, playing in the Rose Bowl isn’t a bad consolation prize. Ohio State still had a good season.
Ohio State will be taking on the Pac-12 champions. Utah is a very strong team that should not be taken lightly. They destroyed the same Oregon team twice that beat Ohio State in Week 2. The Buckeyes don’t get to end the season facing an easy opponent.

The Rose Bowl betting odds on WynnBET have Ohio State listed as 6.5 point favorites. That seems right based on how strong the Buckeyes’ offense is, even if they end up having a few players opt-out of playing the game. Even so, they don’t deserve to be monster favorites. The over is set at 65.5.
Utah has been a team that was doubted all year long. They weren’t picked to win the conference or be a major player to play in a New Year’s Six bowl before the season. To take them lightly now would be a major mistake by anyone. This is a good football team.
Ohio State football vs. Utah prediction
I’ve been trying to figure out who is going to win this game for the past couple of weeks. On one hand, the Buckeyes are clearly the more talented team. On the other hand, they got punked against TTUN when they were the most talented team on that field too.

In the end, I think the Buckeyes do end the season on a good note. I think they cover, but just barely. Ohio State wins 35-28 in a game that is pretty close the entire time.
