BetOnline was offering the Ohio State Buckeyes at +750 odds of winning the 2018 NCAA College Football Championship game for a payout potential of $750 on every $100 bet. Many other books online were offering a price of just 4/1.
Ohio State has one of the top five best quarterback situations according to sports handicapper Phil Steele of College Football Insider:
In 2014, J.T. Barrett was a Heisman contender while throwing for 2,834 yards (64.6 percent, 34 and 10). But he went down with a broken ankle in November and ended up missing the rest of the season. He ultimately finished fifth in the Heisman balloting. Barrett split time at quarterback with Cardale Jones in 2015 and had his moments last year, but ended the season with just 112 YPG in the last three games. New offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson should have him back to at least that 2014 form, and the Buckeyes are well-equipped at backup QB with Joe Burrow and redshirt freshman Dwayne Haskins.
