NCAA Football Odds: USC Trojans at Ohio State Buckeyes

On Saturday night at Ohio Stadium the eighth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes have an opportunity to finally silence their critics in a game with the No. 3 USC Trojans.

It is a rematch after USC’s dominating 35-3 win in Los Angeles last year.

That’s just one loss in a trend that has seen the Buckeyes embarrassed several times on national television in recent seasons.

In 2006, the Buckeyes were swamped 41-14 by Florida in the national championship game. A year later, another SEC team, LSU, put a 38-24 whipping on them in the national finale in New Orleans.

That is why Ohio State’s players believe that winning this one game can go a long way toward redeeming the school’s sullied national reputation.

The Buckeyes are currently listed as 7-point home underdogs for Saturday's huge matchup.

The Trojans are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. the Big Ten.
