The Ohio State Buckeyes are hosting the Nebraska Cornhuskers as Big Ten football finally gets underway. Here’s how to bet on the game and how you can watch.
The No. 5 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes have their eyes on the College Football Playoff and that quest begins Saturday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The wait has been long and the Buckeyes are looking to prove they are worthy of that ranking.
Most of the attention is on the Buckeyes and Heisman hopeful Justin Fields. But Scott Frost’s team has a lot to prove after a disappointing 5-7 season in 2019. His team also got routed by the final score of 48-7 at home against the Buckeyes last year. Will anything be different this time around?

Ohio State winning this game seems like a given. Doing so by four touchdowns isn’t too much of a stretch either given the way Ryan Day has had his team preparing even amid all the uncertainty of when the season would begin.
The over/under is tricky based on Nebraska scoring only seven points in the matchup last season. They are nowhere near the level of a program like Ohio State and while the Buckeyes can easily put up 50, the Cornhuskers aren’t going to carry the weight in this one. The safe bet here is the under.
Pick: Ohio State wins 49-14
