Ohio State vs. Wisconsin betting odds opened at -2 ½ in favor of the road team Buckeyes. 87 percent of the betting action was going Ohio State's way here.

Gambling911.com believes the line on this game should actually be Wisconsin -3.

While Ohio State destroyed Wisconsin the last time these two teams met, it is interesting to point out that the Buckeyes were a huge -16 home favorite at the time this occurred in 2007. It was quite a different story 2004 and 2003, respectively, when Wisconsin pretty much had the same line they do in Saturday's game and won both times by more than 7 points. In fact, Wisconsin has won 6 of the last 8 against the spread.

Ohio State lost its only road game of the season to USC pretty badly. The Badgers lost a close one on the road last week to Michigan as a -4 ½ favorite.

The Buckeyes are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. They are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 conference games.

The one stat that really scares us here is Ohio State not having won against the spread yet this season.

It's hard to imagine this team going even 4-2 and 0-5 Against The Spread.

There are plenty of conflicting stats here for us to sit this one out.
