Ohio State opens as 6.5 point favorites over Michigan State in Big Ten Championship

4

It's not as though we didn't expect the degree of difficulty to be upped significantly with Legends division champions Michigan State waiting to face the Buckeyes in Indianapolis next weekend. The Buckeyes will get their stiffest test in weeks, per the oddsmakers, and will have to earn every bit of their potential spot in early January's national title game. Interestingly enough, Auburn opens as two point underdogs to Missouri.
