If you wanted to truly profiteer on the 2016 Ohio State football season, that money barge already departed the season.
The Buckeyes sat at 12:1 title odds as little as two months ago, but those odds have been slashed in the wake of their 67-point pasting of Bowling Green. In fact, OSU only trails Alabama (4:1) in 2016 title odds.
Some update odds after Week 1 action from the South Point Casino, via ESPN gambling reporter David Purdum:
SCHOOL | ODDS |
---|---|
ALABAMA | 4:1 |
OHIO STATE | 5:1 |
CLEMSON | 6:1 |
MICHIGAN | 6:1 |
LOUISIANA STATE | 10:1 |
HOUSTON | 30:1 |
TEXAS | 40:1 |
Texas at 40:1? The Longhorns are officially back, baby!
And anybody that wants to bet on LSU to win the national title is free to PayPal me that money instead. I will do cooler things with it than anything a casino executive will imagine.
