Forbes chimes in:
Ohio State vs. Rutgers Sees Historic Betting Spread: Largest Dog In Modern Football History?
Ohio State currently owns the top ranking in this week’s college football playoff rankings and, according to one bookmaker, Saturday’s Big Ten matchup against Rutgers sees them own the largest spread in conference history.
The 51.5-point line clearly stands out on this weeks college football odds grid, but SportsBetting.ag head oddsmaker Adam Burns feels confident in the decision to set such a high bar.
"The way the Buckeyes are absolutely dominating on both sides of the ball, coupled with the dreadful Rutgers offense, this was always going to be a spread of epic proportions," said Burns. "But Ohio State is probably going to have to pitch a shutout to cover the number."
Burns’ reference to a shutout is in direct relation to the game’s betting total which, at 55.5 points, leaves little wiggle room for the Buckeyes should the Scarlet Knights get on the board.
A single Rutgers touchdown would see Ohio State needing a total of 59 points or more to narrowly secure the cover.
