Ohio Bobcats +23.5 on the Line (-110)

Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing

The Ohio Bobcats have been playing well lately, showing a solid offense that can put points on the board. They face the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who have struggled defensively. Taking Ohio to cover the spread of 23.5 makes sense because they have a strong chance to keep the game competitive. However, the Cornhuskers are not easy to shake off and could surprise. Our model predicts a close game, with Nebraska losing by about 12 points. So, while Ohio is favored, it's important to remember that Nebraska could put up more of a fight than expected. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled.
