See the early betting lines and our prediction for Ohio State's matchup with Tennessee in round one of the College Football Playoff.
Ohio State quarterback Will Howard looks for an open receiver against Michigan during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio.Ohio State will finally get a night game at Ohio Stadium when Tennessee visits Columbus at 8 p.m. EST Dec. 21 in the College Football Playoff. Based on seeding, this is the top CFP matchup of round one and no other playoff game has a tighter point spread.
Odds are based on the best value our experts find as of publication; check lines closer to game time to ensure you get the best odds. The Volunteers have a premier defense that surrenders 14 points per game. Tennessee is well-balanced on that side of the ball, and oddsmakers aren’t expecting a shootout considering the total sits at 47; the lowest over/under of CFP round one.
Unlike the Wolverines, Tennessee has a QB and pass catchers that can spread the defense and attack downfield. QB Nico Iamaleava’s season has been up and down but he should play with more confidence after solid performances in the last two games. For whatever reason, OSU seemed determined to prove it could be more physical than Michigan. The plan failed miserably, partially because of injuries along the offensive line. The offense will run far more efficiently if the Buckeyes simply move away from that game plan.
