Week 6 College Football Odds: Maryland at #4 Ohio State. If we have learned anything through the opening 5 weeks of the college football season, it’s that no team is going to make it to the playoffs without enduring some level of adversity. | MyBookie Sportsbook | 2023 College Football Betting | Regular Season: August 26 to December 9 | Week 6: Wednesday, October 4 to Saturday, October 7, 2023

The Ohio State Buckeyes are an example of that, as they survived a huge scare against Notre Dame, stealing the win in the final play of the game. We are seeing all the top teams struggle a little at times, and while the Buckeyes are expected to win this weekend without too much effort, there is always the chance of a trap game every week. The Maryland Terrapins have been somewhat flying under the radar this year, but they are right there with the Buckeyes in the division standings, so this might be a little tighter than some are expecting. Right now, Ohio State is favored by 18 ½, with the point total set at 55 ½.

Why bet on the Maryland Terrapins

The Terrapins have made a great start to the season, going a perfect 5-0 to this point. They made a somewhat similar start last season but came derailed once they got into the meat of their conference schedule, which is where they are about to head with this one. If you look back at recent years, you see that this is where things very often go wrong for the Terrapins, as they have just 1 win in their last 9 games in Week 6. They are on a solid tun now, though, come into this weekend having won 7 in a row, although they have lost 8 in a row to the Buckeyes. In terms of the point spread, the Terrapins have covered in 6 of their last 8 games, but they are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 versus Ohio State. The UNDER has hit in 4 of their last 5 road games.

Why bet on the Ohio State Buckeyes

As we mentioned earlier, the Buckeyes are sitting on a perfect record by the skin of their teeth, knocking off Notre Dame with a touchdown in the final play of the game. The concern for the Buckeyes is that they are coming into a huge game on the heels of a bye week, so there may be a little rust in the early going. It doesn’t really feel as though this is going to be a problem for this team, though, as they have won 16 of their last 18 games overall. They have also won 15 of their last 16 games at home, so they are going to be tough to knock off in their own building. There is a reason to be a little nervous about the Buckeyes against the spread, as they are just 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games starting as the favorite. On the positive side, they have covered the spread in 12 of their last 15 games in Week 6 of the season.

College Football Expert Pick and Series Prediction

I believe that the way to go with this one is the OVER, as the last 8 meetings between these teams have gone that way. I also like the Buckeyes to win, although I am a little bit on the fence about the spread.
