Ohio State Is An 11-Point Favorite Over Indiana
The Buckeyes are more than a touchdown favorite over Indiana ahead of the top-five showdown in Columbus next Saturday.
After Ohio State opened as a 9-point favorite over Indiana last week, the line has increased a bit as OSU is now favored by 11 points over the Hoosiers, according to consensus lines from the Action Network. After the spread grew from nine points on Nov. 3 to 11.5 points last Wednesday, it seems to have settled in at 11, at least for now.
Ohio State is 9-1 but just 5-5 against the spread, including 3-3 ATS at home. The Buckeyes are 3-2 ATS in their last five games.
Meanwhile, Indiana is 10-0 overall and 8-2 ATS, including 3-0 ATS on the road. The Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games.
After the total opened at 54.5, it has climbed slightly to 55.5. Only four of OSU’s 10 games have gone over the total including just three of six games so far in Columbus. Each of Ohio State’s last four games have gone under the total. On the other side, seven of Indiana’s 10 games have gone over and all three of IU’s road games have hit the over. Two of the Hoosiers’ last three games have gone under the total, though.
Ohio State and Indiana will kick off at noon on FOX next Saturday as part of the network’s Big Noon Saturday slate. The network’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show will air live from OSU’s campus on Saturday morning. College GameDay will also be in Columbus for the top-five showdown.
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, Ind. (WSBT) — It’s fair season and a new law uncorks adult beverage sales!
The new Indiana law will go into effect July 1st, making it legal to sell alcohol at county fairs.
The Kosciusko County Fair is set to kick off in just a few weeks and Indiana is officially allowing alcohol to be sold.
The law is bringing back something that’s not necessarily new to this fair.
Here’s what you need to know
The new law will go into effect on July 1st. It officially allows county fairs to apply for fee-free permits to sell alcohol.
Officials with the Kosciusko County Fair say they are participating this year. They are implementing the same guidelines they used when they sold alcohol just at grandstand events.
The difference now is, you can walk around the grounds with your drink. But strict guidelines will be in place for purchasing a drink.
“Actually, we’ve never had any issues. Because we card everybody, so we take that seriously. We also got the ID guides so we can identify the different types of IDs,” said Sheal Dirck, Treasurer of Kosciusko County Fair.
The Kosciusko County Fair already have guidelines in place, so this was an easy transition for the fair.
They will be the only vendors selling alcohol, which will make it easier to control distribution.
The sales will also bring in more revenue.
“Hopefully it allows to keep our ticket prices where they are because right now, insurance, utilities and everything else is going sky high and it’s hard to make ends meet,” said Dirck.
However, some fairs cannot participate because of the July 1st start date, like the Pulaski County Fair, which is going on right now. Pulaski County officials said it is on the agenda for next year. Whereas other fairs are choosing to sit this year out.
“We wanted not spend some time to, to see what that really means for us. It was not a decision we wanted to rush into. But we are happy for the option of it,” said Shelly Steury, GM of Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds.
Leaders at the St. Joseph County and Elkhart County Fairs said neither of them are selling alcohol.
The Kosciusko County Fair is the only fair that will sell alcohol in our area this year.
