No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes (-30) vs. Indiana Hoosiers | over/under 59


Game Date/Time: Saturday, Sept. 2 at 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Bloomington, Ind.
TV: CBS
Streaming: Paramount+, DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo
Radio: 97.1 FM/1460 AM

The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will open their season against the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington Ind. The game will usher in a new era for both Ohio State and the Big Ten Conference. For OSU, the game will be the first start for Kyle McCord since the game against Akron in 2021 where the then-true freshman quarterback stepped in for an injured C.J. Stroud. For the B1G, the game will be the first broadcast on new TV partner CBS.

Though there are questions about Ohio State’s offensive line, the defense appears poised to take the next step toward returning to its previous status as the Silver Bullets.


Matt’s Game Prediction: Ohio State 53, Indiana 13


TreVeyon Henderson: 150+ yards, 2 touchdowns
Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka: 100+ yards receiving
Carnell Tate: 1 touchdown

The Buckeyes open up their 2023 season in Bloomington.

Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day!

We have endured a long offseason that began promptly with the start of the 2023 calendar, culminating in Ohio State falling short of its ultimate goal with the loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff. This current crop of Buckeyes will look to return to the promised land and bring home the program’s second national title of the CFP era, and that all starts against Indiana on Saturday afternoon. As they say, the journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, and the Hoosiers are the first opponent in Ohio State’s way.

Over the past week, our talented group of writers and podcasters have put together preview pieces, analytical breakdowns, and everything in-between.

If you missed out on any of the coverage, we have you... well, covered. Below, each type of story is categorized. If you’re looking for podcasts and previews we’ve done, you can find them; if you’re looking for the betting lines and non-football topics, they are there, too.

Enjoy the day everyone. As always, Go Bucks!

NCAA Football: Indiana at Ohio State

Joseph Maiorana-USA TODAY Sports

You’ve got a number of free trials you can choose from of various lengths and breadths.

Did September sneak up on you? Are you looking at the calendar and asking yourself, “Self, how is the Ohio State football season starting today? Wasn’t it just the Fourth of July last week?”

If you are surprised that the Buckeyes are kicking off the season today, one thing that might have slipped your mind is how you are going to watch the game today. As cord-cutting has become far more the norm than the exception across the United States, it would not be a surprise if you gave up cable or a live-streaming service following last year’s season only to realize that it’s the day of the game and you have no way to watch it.

Fortunately for you, I am something of a streaming expert... no really, I write about streaming services for a living. So, I am going to walk you through the best — and cheapest — ways for you to stream today’s game. Also, if you want to put a little money on the game over at DraftKings Sportsbook, not only would it make what could be a blowout even more exciting, but you could make enough cash to pay for a full month of cable or streaming!


How can I watch the Ohio State vs. Indiana college football game?


Game Date/Time: Saturday, Sept. 2 at 3:30 p.m. ET
TV: CBS
Broadcasters: Brad Nessler, Gary Danielson, Jenny Dell
Betting Line: Ohio State -30.5 | 59 o/v
Prop Bets: Click the link to see lines for everything from who will score first to what the largest lead of the game will be.

Best Streaming Option for CBS Games: Paramount+ | 30-Day Free Trial

Paramount+ has two streaming packages, the ad-supported Essentials tier and the ad-free Paramount+ with Showtime. Since both come with a 30-day free trial, if you want to watch today’s game against the Hoosiers and all of the other football on CBS for the month of September, opt for the Paramount+ with Showtime plan. This will give you access to everything on your local CBS affiliate, plus tons of streaming exclusives, not to mention all of the original and library content from across the Paramount universe.

Best Streaming Option for All Week 1 Games: DIRECTV STREAM | 5-Day Free Trial

If just watching the games on CBS isn’t enough to keep your football appetite at bay, then DIRECTV STREAM is your best option. The live TV streaming service has the only guaranteed multi-day free trial in the industry and provides the most top cable channels of all of its competitors. The basic, Entertainment package comes with all of the major network channels — all of which have college football — ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. It also has ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1. Then, if you want to upgrade, other packages include the ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPNU, SEC Network, CBS Sports Network, Longhorn Network, and more.

The only issue with DIRECTV STREAM is that the provider is currently locked in a carriage dispute with station owner Nexstar. So, there are a number of channels across the country that are blacked out on DIRECTV’s satellite and streaming services. So, if you are going to go with DIRECTV STREAM, make sure that you check here to see if the game(s) you want to watch are blacked out in your area.

If you are unable to watch a game in your area on the streamer Fubo is another good alternative. Currently, the service is only guaranteeing a one-day trial — as it is trying to discourage people from watching an entire weekend of football for free. However, you can still get at least one free day if you sign up here.

Las Vegas Economy Roars Back To Life

Let’s face it, betting against the spread and the over/under is boring. Don’t be boring.

Sports betting officially became legal in the state of Ohio on Jan. 1 of this year, and while there have been opportunities to bet on both college football and the Ohio State football team since then, this is the first time that you will really be able to do both, so why stick with the basic winner against the spread and over/under lines?

That’s boring, tired, and basic. Yes, Ohio State opened as a 30-point favorite over the Indiana Hoosiers and the game had a 60-point total to hit, and the Buckeyes’ line has remained the same, although the o/u has dipped to 59 according to DraftKings SportsBook. I mean, go ahead and bet on those if you want, it’s your money, I’m not going to judge you. But, I do think that there are a lot more entertaining ways to get your get your gamble on.

So, I’ve selected a handful of potential bets that you could make — independent of or in addition to — the conventional lines. All of the odds come from DraftKings SportsBook so get your money in now before the Ohio State and Indiana game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS on Saturday.

Longest Touchdown



There are two ways that you can look at this one, in my mind. Either it’s not worth betting $360 just for the chance to win $100, ooooooor, the far more exciting option is, “There’s no way that Ohio State doesn’t win this one, so this is essentially a free hundo.”

If I lived in a state in which sports gambling was legal, I would almost certainly be betting the farm (I don’t have a farm) on this one.


First Scoring Play



This one is fun, and a little terrifying, because there is always a fairly substantial element of luck in these “first score” type of bets. So much depends on the coin toss, a random bounce of the ball, the hype and emotions surrounding the opening of a game (and a season in this case). While the longest touchdown bet has an element of luck as well, even if IU hits a nice 69-yard score in the first quarter, the Buckeyes have the rest of the game to beat it. By definition, that’s not possible in these types of bets.

Obviously, if I had to pick what I though was most likely to happen, I would probably go with the Away Touchdown option, but I don’t know if the odds are worth it on this one. However, if I simply had to make a bet, I would probably put $1 down on each potential safety option for the chance to turn my $2 into $800.


Largest Lead of the Game



This one is simple, do you think that Ohio State is going to lead Indiana by 32 points at any time in the game? If so, hammer the over. If not, then go under. I personally am predicting a 53-13 win for the Buckeyes, so I would feel pretty comfortable taking that bet for tomorrow.


Race to Points



These numbers are kind of wild. If you want to win $100 on the Buckeyes to score 20 points before the Hoosiers do, you have to put up $20,000. That seems... less than worth the investment. Hell, even though I don’t think it’s gonna happen, I could be tempted to put some money on Indiana to score 20 first, because at +1100, it’s worth a little bit of a risk that something goes wonky tomorrow.

Game predictions, chunky sweaters, and much, much more.

Land-Grant Holy Land’s Stick to Sports is unlike any podcast you’ve heard on the Ohio State beat. Your hosts, Matt Tamanini and Jami Jurich, will (of course) talk Ohio State sports, but the primary focus of the show will be on what’s going on around the periphery, such as weird/funny happenings in college football and the sports world at large, as well as other things that keep us interested in between games, whether that’s pop culture, social media trends— you name it.
