The odds are out for the Ohio State vs. Penn State game Saturday night, and as you would expect, the Buckeyes have been pegged as significant favorites by Tipico Sportsbook. In fact, OSU is a whopping 18.5 point favorite at this point in the week.

That line could change a little as we go further into the week, but you have to think that the line would have been much closer had the Nittany Lions not laid an egg at the base of Mount Nittany against Illinois on Saturday. Couple that with the Buckeyes continuing to look like the most explosive team in the country on offense, and well, that’s your story for the line right now.

Now that we gave the people what they want for the early odds, we’ll check in again at the end of the week to see where things stand. Remember, Ohio State hosts Penn State for a nighttime prime-time affair in the ‘Shoe at 7:30 p.m. EDT. ABC has the broadcast.
