According to ESPN’s FPI, the Buckeyes have an 86% chance of beating the Golden Gophers at Huntington Bank Stadium. It’ll be the first look at redshirt freshman CJ Stroud as Ohio State’s starting quarterback now that Justin Fields is playing for the Chicago Bears.

On the Minnesota side, reigning B1G Running Back of the Year Mo Ibrahim is a name to watch as he looks to build off of last year’s breakout campaign.

The sports books expect a high-scoring affair, with DraftKings setting the over-under at 62.5 total points. It should be an exciting game in Minneapolis.

The Buckeyes and the Golden Gophers will square off at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
