Ohio State vs. Notre Dame Odds: 69% of Bets on Buckeyes to Beat Irish
What a matchup to start the College Football season. No. 2 Ohio State plays host to No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday evening in a heavily touted matchup. The Buckeyes have massive expectations as they are one of the more popular picks to win the National Championship this year.
Notre Dame as a top-five team is no slouch though. They are coached by first-year coach Marcus Freeman, who is a former Buckeye himself. It's a game filled with storylines, and the public is all over this one.

Ohio State vs. Notre Dame Odds Breakdown
When looking at the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame odds, the Buckeyes are given an 88.1% chance of winning this game. The public, despite the awful value, is all over OSU on the moneyline with 69% of the bets coming in on the home favorites.
As I previously mentioned, Ohio State has National Championship aspirations. CJ Stroud, who is a favorite for the Heisman Award and a projected top pick in the NFL Draft has a huge year ahead of him.
Look for Jaxon Smith-Njigba to be a favorite target for Stroud not only in this game but all season long. OSU will have to replace the production of Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave but with Smith-Njigba teaming up with Marvin Harrison Jr. their receiving duo should be a problem for the Notre Dame secondary.
The spread in this game is 16 points. Notre Dame has a chance to cover tonight, but an upset win over Ryan Day's team seems extremely unlikely as shown by both the odds and the public betting for Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
