Ohio State football vs. Indiana Best Bets for Week 11
By Ryan Stano
The Ohio State football team takes on Indiana today. There are expectations that the Buckeyes should blow them out. But as we saw last week against Northwestern, anything is possible. The weather should be a little better than it was for that game though.
In any case, Ryan Day will be looking to have a better day offensively than they did against the Wildcats. Because of that, there are some interesting bets that have caught my eye for this game. It’s one of the two games the Buckeyes have left to prep for Michigan.
Ohio State’s defense isn’t something that should worry anyone for this game. They have shown the ability to get turnovers against good teams when they need to and shut down bad teams too. It’s the offense that has some questions.
Ohio State football Best Bets Week 11
According to FanDuel, the Buckeyes are 39.5-point favorites against the Hoosiers today. I did pick the Buckeyes to cover that spread, but not confidently. The issues running the ball still scare me a little, even though I think they’ll be better. The over/under is 60.5, which I think will go over as well.
As far as in-game props go, I have a few that stick out to me. The first one is first touchdown scorer. Marvin Harrison Jr. sits there at +390 odds for this. I think that’s pretty good value. I see the Buckeyes running the ball down the field and then throwing for a touchdown in the red zone early on.
I also don’t mind C.J. Stroud as an anytime touchdown scorer. He would have to do so on the ground. As we saw last week, if the Buckeyes struggle to run the ball, Stroud can tuck it himself. He is more willing to do it if he absolutely has to. Those odds sit at +240
Those are the best bets I see this week for this game!
