What Are the Regular Season Wins Total Odds for the Ohio State Buckeyes - 2022?

The team with the second shortest odds to win the 2022 College Football Playoff Championship, the Ohio State Buckeyes, are favored to lose just one game or less this season.  The price on the OVER 10.5 was -225.

The big test comes in Week 1 against Notre Dame.

Both teams are gaining intel on the other weeks ahead of the marquee matchup, the best of Week 1.

The Buckeyes did land Tanner McCalister, whose final game playing for Oklahoma State was against Notre Dame.

Ohio State safety Ronnie Hickman said he and McCalister have rewatched that game tape a few times.

OSU coach Ryan Day spoke highly of the Fighting Irish’s prestigious identity during MediaDays.

“Part of the first game is just the lead up to it and making sure that you’re preparing but you’re not overdoing it as well, because you’ve got to go play,” Day said, “That’s going to be an electric atmosphere. Notre Dame has unbelievable tradition — just unbelievable.”

Day said of this season, 'We expect a top-10 defense'.

Accomplished assistant Jim Knowles was brought in to run the Buckeyes defense and get that done.

“You've got to stop the run,” Day said, “and certainly there was a couple of games where it didn’t get done. We've got to do that. A lot of that has to do with technique. A lot of that has to do with scheme. And with toughness.”

The other expectation is to "win them all" as far as games go this season, including the Week 1 showdown against Notre Dame.

Day made special reference to the heart breaking loss to arch rival Michigan last season.

"We experienced what it's like to lose that rivalry game, and we never want to feel it again."

Gamblng911.com expects Ohio State to go OVER the 10.5 this season and maybe even with the Championship at +350 odds.
