Ohio State a heavy road favorite vs. Nebraska
Published:
This has to be somewhat embarrassing for Nebraska.
For Saturday’s game between Ohio State-Nebraska, the Buckeyes opened as a 24-point favorite on the road after a 62-14 win over Maryland. The Huskers are coming off a 38-17 loss to Wisconsin.
The 24-point line makes this Nebraska team as the largest home underdog in 60 seasons. That’s not going to sit well with many fans.

Nebraska hasn't been this big of an underdog at home in 60 years — 1957 Oklahoma. (That's according to my source, @JeffieHusker)https://t.co/14asi3tA9M
