FanDuel<\/a>, but DraftKings views both games as dead even; a bet on either Ohio State or its opponent for either of those games right now would require an $11 bet to win $10.\n<\/p>\n\n\tOhio State is listed as a one-score favorite for its Oct. 31 road game at USC and its Nov. 7 home game vs. Oregon. DraftKings lists the Buckeyes as a 7.5-point favorite to beat the Trojans in Los Angeles, while Ohio State opened as a 6-point favorite to beat the Ducks in Columbus one week later. FanDuel has not posted lines for those games.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tDraftKings gives Ohio State a full two-touchdown edge in The Game, installing the Buckeyes as a 14-point favorite over Michigan for the Nov. 28 regular-season finale. As with the Texas and Indiana games, DraftKings\u2019 line for The Game is tilted more toward Ohio State than the line on FanDuel, where Ohio State is just an 11.5-point favorite over Michigan as of Friday afternoon.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOhio State is listed as a 50.5-point favorite for its season opener vs. Ball State on both DraftKings and FanDuel.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDraftKings\u00a0lists Ohio State as the favorite to win the national championship\u00a0(+650) and Big Ten (+180).
