Maryland at Ohio State Prediction: Four Doubtful Buckeyes Make -33.5 a Pass
Analysis updated October 10, 2026 at 8:45 AM CDT
Ohio State has never lost to Maryland and has won 11 straight home games, but the SPF spread requires the Buckeyes to win by at least 34 points.
Ohio State's injuries matter at this price
Yahoo Sports / The Columbus Dispatch reported that wide receiver Brandon Inniss, linebacker Christian Alliegro, offensive lineman Phillip Daniels and defensive end Khary Wilder are doubtful. Wide receiver Devin McCuin and defensive back Jay Timmons are probable.
Those potential absences affect several position groups, including the offensive line and both sides of the passing game. That creates added uncertainty when Ohio State must win by at least 34 points to cover.
Maryland vs. Ohio State betting pick
Ohio State Athletics reports that the Buckeyes enter Saturday's 4:15 p.m. ET game at Ohio Stadium with a 9-0 series record against Maryland and an 11-game home winning streak. Those marks support Ohio State as the likely winner, but they don't show that the Buckeyes will cover a spread this large.
SportsPicksForum lists Ohio State at -33.5 and the total at 56.5, with both total sides priced at -110. No moneyline is available. Without current team statistics, recent results or confirmed starters for both teams, neither the spread nor the total supports a wager. Pass.
