Ball State at Ohio State (Sat, 12:30 p.m. ET)
Ohio State -49.5 (-115)
Spread
The nation's top-ranked team is favored by more than 49 points at home, with a first-half spread alone sitting at -28.5 — a real sign this one figures to be decided long before the fourth quarter even starts.
Over 56.5 (-110)
Total
Ohio State's own projected yardage output (562.5) is enough on its own to comfortably clear this total, regardless of how little Ball State manages to put up on the other side.
Ohio State Over 562.5 Total Yards (-114)
Total Yards
Ball State's own team total sits at just 128.5 yards for the entire game — nearly a quarter of what Ohio State alone is projected to produce, making this about as clean a talent gap as the board offers all season.
