According to ESPN’s Chris Fallicia, it’s only the eighth time in the past four decades a game between two top 10 teams has had a spread of 18 points or more.
What an absurd line. 18.5 points in favor of OSU! They’re favored by more than two and a half touchdowns against a fellow top 10 team!
Penn State is eighth in the playoff rankings, and the Buckeyes are currently sitting at number two. Oddsmakers are pretty much telling you the gap between the two can’t be overcome, despite both teams being playoff contenders.

Here’s the crazy part for all of you. I actually think there is a very good chance Ohio State covers 18.5 with ease.
I think there’s a very real chance the outcome sees the Buckeyes winning by three touchdowns or more. They’re at home, they’re loaded with NFL players and Chase Young is going to terrorize Sean Clifford.

If Penn State lets Justin Fields and the offense get going, it’s over. The Buckeyes will start stacking up points before the Nittany Lions even realize what has happened.
