According to WestGate Las Vegas, Ohio State is currently a 9.5-point favorite over Penn State for the seismic Big Ten showdown in Columbus on Oct. 28.

The Buckeyes (6-1) have an extra week to prepare for the Nittany Lions, who boast Heisman frontrunner Saquon Barkley:

That line could change significantly depending on Penn State's showing vs. Michigan on Saturday night. During its current five-game winning streak, Ohio State is averaging 53.2 points per game.
