Ohio State Buckeyes Odds

Ohio State Buckeyes 2021-22 Season

Ohio State is almost always a lock to make it to the NCAA Tournament, but they haven’t done much once they’ve gotten there. The Buckeyes haven’t made it past the second round since 2013, and last season saw another first round exit added to their resume.

OSU is back in the thick of things again this season, sitting at No. 18 in the country and fourth in a tight Big Ten. E.J. Liddell (leader in points and rebounds) and Jamari Wheeler (leader in assists and steals) continue to stuff the stat sheet for the Buckeyes, and head coach Chris Holtmann has this team eyeing a potential Top 5 seed come March Madness.

Could this team make their first Final Four in a decade? We’re just a few short weeks away from finding out.

Take a look at our college basketball odds to see how the Buckeyes fare in the coming weeks.

Betting on the Ohio State Buckeyes

The Ohio State Buckeyes have some tough matchups remaining in the season, so be sure to pay close attention to the odds. Here are some of the popular bet types that you can make on the Buckeyes if you live in a legal sports betting state.

• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/Under
• Props
• Futures Odds

Ohio State Moneyline

A moneyline bet requires a bettor to correctly pick the winner of the game. If you pick the winner of the game correctly, you will win the bet. How much you win will be determined by your wager amount and the associated moneyline for the team you bet on. Here's an example using a recent Ohio State game against Michigan.

• Michigan -135 moneyline
• Ohio State +118 moneyline

Michigan is the favored team to win this game, which is indicated by the minus sign (-) next to their moneyline. Ohio State is the underdog denoted by the plus sign (+) next to their moneyline. The moneyline number signifies the potential payout for each team. Someone betting on Michigan would have to bet $135 to win $100 whereas a bettor would win $118 with a wager of $100 on Ohio State.

Ohio State Point Spread

Users can also place a point spread wager on the Ohio State Buckeyes. This requires a bettor to correctly select the margin of victory by a particular team, rather than simply who wins. Here's the same Ohio State vs. Michigan State matchup as an example.

• Michigan -2.5 (-110)
• Ohio State +2.5 (-110)

Oddsmakers set a margin of victory total known as the spread. In this game, Michigan has to win by 3 or more points to beat this spread and Ohio State either has to win the game outright or lose by 2 points to beat the spread. Point spreads also have an additional element known as juice, or the vig, which is the tax paid to the sportsbook for each bet. The juice is indicated next to the point spread. This number is used to determine a wager payout. For a bet on Michigan, a bettor would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked. Someone betting on Ohio State would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked.

Ohio State Over/Unders

Betting on over/under totals looks at the cumulative final score between two teams, not the winner or loser of the game. Bettors are required to accurately predict if the teams combine higher or lower than a number set by oddsmakers. Oddsmakers set the over/under total for Ohio State vs. Michigan at 140.5 points.

• Over 140.5 points (-110)
• Under 140.5 points (-110)

Again, juice or vig comes into play with over/unders. Betting over 140.5 points means in this case that a bettor would have to wager $110 to earn $100. Betting under 140.5 points would mean a bettor would earn $100 for every $110 risked.

Ohio State Prop Bets

For those Ohio State fans that have a particular favorite player, prop bets are a great way to show your support. Oddsmakers will also set lines on player statistics. Bettors then have the opportunity to guess whether those players will go over or under the set line to win money. Some popular prop bets include how many points a player will score, who will score first, how many rebounds a player gets, and many more.

Ohio State Future Odds

If you like Ohio State’s odds to make the Final Four or win the NCAA Tournament, take a look at futures odds . A futures bet is wager for an event happening in the later in the season. Because a futures bet can be really hard to predict, the payouts are much higher than a typical wager. The Buckeyes are currently +1000 to make the Final Four and +7000 to win the NCAA Tournament (odds via PointsBet Sportsbook) – check out our PointsBet Promo Code page and sign up with ACTION2K1 to claim $2,200 in risk-free bets.
