Ohio State vs. Michigan State Betting Preview: Even as Buckeyes Struggle, Haskins Remains a Force

Ohio State Buckeyes (-3.5) at Michigan State Spartans

Sat. 11/9, 12:00 p.m. ET

Three things to know before betting on Ohio State-Michigan State:

1. There's been some bad energy around the Ohio State football program all season, and it has finally started to manifest on the field. A 16-point win over Minnesota four weeks ago was closer than it seemed, a 29-point loss at Purdue the week after that was an obvious disaster and the Buckeyes nearly lost to 1-7 Nebraska last week while coming off a bye. After covering in three of its first four contests, Urban Meyer's team has now lost five straight against the spread.
