Betting lines are now available for half of Ohio State’s 2026 football games.
After DraftKings released more betting lines for the biggest games of the 2026 college football season this week, odds are now available for six of Ohio State’s 12 regular-season games.
Two of those games are listed as pick ’ems: Ohio State’s Week 2 road game at Texas and its Oct. 17 road game at Indiana. The Buckeyes are listed as 1.5-point underdogs for those games by FanDuel, 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.
Ohio 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.
DraftKings 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’ 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.
Ohio State is listed as a 50.5-point favorite for its season opener vs. Ball State on both DraftKings and FanDuel.

DraftKings lists Ohio State as the favorite to win the national championship (+650) and Big Ten (+180). DraftKings projects the Buckeyes will go 10-2 during the regular season; Ohio State is listed as a -166 favorite to win over 9.5 games, but the line of under 10.5 regular-season wins is projected as even more likely (-210).
FanDuel also lists Ohio State as the favorite to win the national championship (+550) and Big Ten (+185). FanDuel lists Ohio State’s over/under for regular-season wins at 9.5 with the line shaded toward the over (-164 for over 9.5 wins, +134 for under 9.5 wins).
