Ohio State Favored for Big Ten Opener at Washington Amidst Junior QB Debut

The Cincinnati Bengals are significant underdogs, listed as 7.5-point underdogs against the Denver Broncos in their upcoming Monday night game, struggling after a historic 48-10 loss and the injury of quarterback Joe Burrow due to poor offensive line performance. Conversely, Ohio State, ranked No. 1 in college football, is favored by 9.5 points over the undefeated Washington Huskies in a major road game, marking their first true away challenge of the season. Meanwhile, Baylor Bears are favored by 19.5 points over Oklahoma State despite defensive struggles, particularly in stopping the run, with Baylor's quarterback Sawyer Robertson performing strongly offensively. These betting lines reflect the challenges and expectations for these teams amid injury concerns and recent performances in both college and professional football.
