The Ohio State Buckeyes aim for the College Football Playoff in 2022-23, following their Rose Bowl victory last season. Their win total is set at 11.5, with odds of -205 for the over and +165 for the under.

Key Schedule Details:

• Season opener vs Notre Dame (primetime College Gameday matchup)
• Non-conference games vs Arkansas State and Toledo (both at home)
• Critical conference matchups vs Wisconsin, Michigan State, Penn State, and Michigan
• Home field advantage for Wisconsin, Rutgers, Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan

The Betting Case:

• Current win total line: 11.5 games
• 2021 record: 10 wins (losses to Oregon and Michigan)
• Key returning players: CJ Stroud and TreVeyon Henderson
• Major tests: Notre Dame, Penn State, and Michigan

Prediction: OVER 11.5 wins

• Stronger team compared to last year's 10-win squad
• Experienced offensive playmakers returning
• Home field advantage for key matchups
• Program consistently meets high expectations

Three toughest opponents:

1. Notre Dame (Week 1)
2. Penn State (Away)
3. Michigan (Home)

The improved roster and strategic home schedule positioning make the over 11.5 wins an attractive bet, despite the challenging Big Ten conference slate and noteworthy non-conference opener against Notre Dame.
