NCAA football wagering excitement features a Big Ten Network telecast of Ohio State and Illinois in a Big Ten Conference college football wagering matchup. NCAA football sports book gambling anticipations continue to grow for unbeaten Ohio State while Illinois will be trying for the greatest upset of the college football betting season to date.



The sportsbook opened with Ohio State as an 18 point favorite and kickofff Saturday from Illinois’ Memorial Stadium is set for noon Eastern.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will be playing their first road game of the season after spending September in the favorable confines of the famed Horseshoe and have a college football wagering record of 4-0 both straight up and vs the spread.

Ohio State is arriving from a 73-20 destruction of Eastern Michigan as 44.5 point favorites to make odds makers wonder if there’s a line too big for the mighty Buckeyes to cover. Ohio State’s defense ranks 5th overall and 20th for points allowed while they rank 8th overall for total offense and 3rd in the country for scoring.

As he has completed 66% of his passes for 939 yards and a 10/2 touchdown to interception ratio while also leading the squad in rushing with 269 yards, a 6.3 yards per carry average, and 3 touchdowns, junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor is making a formidable case for the Heisman Trophy.

The Fighting Illini of Illinois have a record of 2-1 both straight up and vs the spread. Illinois is arriving from a 28-22 win versus Northern Illinois in which they failed to cover as 7 point NCAA football wagering favorites. In 2 from 3 games this season, the Illini have gone over the total.

Illinois has had trouble badly on offense as they rank 75th overall and an even worse 112th in passing. The defense is positioned at a decent 27th for points allowed.

New starting quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase is 2nd on the squad in rushing behind Mikel LeShoure, who is averaging 6.9 yards per carry, despite the fact that he has been up and down while he learns the ropes.

Ohio State has covered the previous 2 NCAA football wagering matchups in this face to face series with 4 from the previous 6 meetings falling under the total. In 3 from their last 4 home games vs Ohio State, the Illini have brought home the bacon.
