Ohio State opens as 34.5-point favorites over Maryland in Week 6

Coming off a dominant 31-14 road victory against Iowa at Kinnick Stadium that tied the largest road margin there since 2013, Ohio State returns to Columbus as massive 34.5-point favorites for their upcoming Week 6 contest. Star receiver Jeremiah Smith powered the recent win by hauling in 11 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns, breaking school records for career receptions, receiving yards, and scoring grabs, while quarterback Julian Sayin and a stout defense led by Matt Patricia also turned in strong showings under head coach Ryan Day.

Meanwhile, Maryland travels to face the Buckeyes mired in a three-game losing streak following a stretch that exposed defensive vulnerabilities, though they feature sophomore quarterback Malik Washington, who has thrown for nearly 1,300 yards and seven touchdowns despite six interceptions, alongside top target Chris Durr Jr. and standout defenders Derrick LeBlanc, DD Holmes, and Messiah Delhomme.
