We’ve known for a few weeks now that Ohio State and Wisconsin would meet in Indianapolis for the B1G Championship Game next Saturday. Now, with the regular season behind us, we have an official line for the game.

Late Saturday night, Vegas released the line for next week’s conference title clash between the Buckeyes and Badgers. Despite Wisconsin’s undefeated season, Ohio State has been tabbed as a touchdown favorite.

Ohio State has dominated Wisconsin recently and has won the last five match-ups between the two programs, including a 59-0 win in the B1G Championship Game in 2014.

That year, the Buckeyes went on to claim the national championship.

Wisconsin’s last victory over Ohio State came in 2010 in Madison. The Buckeyes lead the all-time series 58-18-5.

A trip to the College Football Playoff is on the line for the Badgers, though OSU could be in the mix as well with a victory on Saturday. Either way, there are significant implications on the line at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Saturday’s game is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET and will air on FOX.
