College Football Week 6 Injury Report & Early Predictions: Ohio State vs. Michigan State
Ohio State (-25.5) at Michigan State
Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba were among 15 Buckeyes unavailable for Saturday’s 49-10 win over Rutgers. The Buckeyes didn’t disclose Henderson’s injury. Smith-Njigba is still dealing with the after-effects of the hamstring injury he suffered last month against Notre Dame.
If there’s good news, it’s that Smith-Njigba went through pregame warmups and would seem very close to returning to the field. We await word on Henderson. Whenever Henderson misses time, Miyan Williams will assume most of the backfield usage.
Among Ohio State’s other inactive players were LB Teradja Mitchell and CB Cam Brown. During the game, DT Tyleik Williams and S Tanner McCalister were also removed with injuries. The status of all these guys will have to be monitored leading up to this weekend’s game at Sparty.
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting “against the spread†refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
