Before any games in the Saturday slate could kick off yesterday, Ohio State already found itself as a 24-point favorite over the Iowa Hawkeyes a week ahead of the meeting between the teams.
Despite the Buckeyes ultimately finishing the day with a 38-7 primetime win over Michigan State on the road and Iowa sitting out on a scheduled bye, the line has already fallen by at least a field goal across multiple books. DraftKings — first to publish a spread — currently requires a 21-point cover from the Buckeyes, while FanDuel offers a narrowly shallower number of 20.
