There are only two weeks left in the Big Ten football regular season, and there are some huge showdowns that will likely determine division winners on Saturday, most notably the matchup between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 7 Michigan State.
Ohio State is still a 19-point favorite in that game, but the over/under number has jumped quite a bit. That's the trend in the betting lines throughout the league this week. The point spreads haven't moved much, but the over/under lines are jumping all over the place.
