When this matchup was set, the Buckeyes were touchdown favorites but that line has swung significantly due to the raft of transfers and opt-outs. Ohio State will be without quarterback Kyle McCord, who is transferring to Syracuse, meaning that sophomore Devin Brown will start.

Ohio State currently sits as a slim, slim favorite. Kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is at 7 p.m. CT Friday night on ESPN.

New players can claim this welcome bonus for a do-over of up to $1,000 on their first bet. Avid players can also cash in on a long list of ongoing Caesars promotions, such as:
