Ohio State absolutely clobbered their first opponent of the season, Bowling Green, surpassing even the most optimistic expectations. Their reward after hanging 77 points? Another big spread, as the folks in Las Vegas like the Buckeyes to beat their next opponent, big.
Per VegasInsider, Ohio State opens at a 28.5 point favorite against Tulsa. The site also lists a “Vegas Consensus” line, which is a teensy bit more conservative, at Ohio State -26.
Tulsa had a big opening game of their own, dominating San Jose State, 45-10, so they’ll be heading into the Ohio State game with some confidence.
