Best Bets for Saturday (December 21): College Football Predictions

Tennessee Volunteers vs Ohio State Buckeyes

Start time – 20:00 EST

Coming off a deflating, ugly loss to their bitter rivals, the Michigan Wolverines, in their last game, we get a nice discount on the Ohio State Buckeyes on the spread tomorrow against the Tennessee Volunteers. Despite what the polls and their record say is advanced statistics behind the scenes has the Buckeyes named the best team in the nation.

The loss to the Wolverines was the Buckeyes’ only loss in Columbus this season, while Tennessee is a mediocre 2-2 on the road (excluding neutral-site games). Add the historical 3.5 points is worth the home field advantage for Ohio State – plus their superior strength of schedule this season – and it should all add up to Ohio State being a 12.5-point favorite tomorrow night. There is plenty of value on the Buckeyes.

Best bet: Ohio State -7 (-110)

Best overall record: 147-126 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/stake): $660.76
Return on investment: 2%
