From the booth

The model favored OSU to win, and the call landed.

Ohio State comes in here absolutely dominant, sitting at ninety-eight percent to win this game, and frankly that makes all the sense in the world. The Buckeyes are a top-ten team, Vegas has them favored by over fifty points, and their recent form speaks for itself with that strong point differential over their last five games. Kent State's gonna need to play perfect football and hope Ohio State has a complete letdown, but the models and the market are telling you everything you need to know about which direction this game is headed.
