Best Ohio State vs. Indiana SGP & parlay picks

Ohio State -3.5 (-105)

Ohio State is 2-0 ATS on the road this season, most recently handling a ranked Iowa team in a 17-point win. Meanwhile, the reigning champs aren’t performing up to the lofty expectations of oddsmakers in the early going, particularly at home.

The Hoosiers are 0-4 ATS in home games this season, failing to cover home spreads by an average margin of 6.6 points per game. Indiana getting 3.5 points at home feels like a trap -- we’re supposed to be enticed by that juicy line -- but we’re not falling into it.

Julian Sayin Over 260.5 passing yards (-115)

Julian Sayin has cleared a 261-yard passing line in four of his six games this season and faces an Indiana defense that has been better at stopping the run than slowing the opposing passing attack.

Indiana ranks 64th in FBS in pass defense, allowing 217.4 yards per game through the air. A solid comparison to what this matchup could produce in that respect was Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles rolling into Bloomington and posting 293 passing yards.

Josh Hoover Over 0.5 interceptions (-120)

Indiana QB Josh Hoover has taken great care of the football this season, but this could be the game in which old habits return to roost.

With TCU last season, Hoover threw 13 interceptions, tied for the third-most in FBS on the year. Averaging 1.3 takeaways per game, Ohio State has the athletes on defense to pressure Hoover into his first passing mistake of the year.

The only sportsbook offering QB interceptions within Same Game Parlays on this game at publish time is bet365, so that’s where we’ll play this parlay.
