This might be a bit too many points. Ohio State made Clemson look silly Friday night, but continues to be disrespected by the sportsbooks.
There’s no doubt No. 1 Alabama should be the favorite. The Tide are led by a three-headed monster in Mac Jones, Devonta Smith and Najee Harris. The Buckeyes will have their hands full on defense.
Betting Line Osu Vs Um
Luckily, Ohio State’s pass rush was the best its been all season Friday night. If the Buckeyes continue their defensive line dominance, Alabama could be in trouble.
