G&W vs the market for the Ohio State Buckeyes, game by game, is part of Official Plays.See plans ›
Cover margin: the team's final margin plus its closing spread. Positive means they beat the number by that many points. The bet-time line is the consensus line on the morning of the bet window (Tuesday for football, game day for most other sports). The close is the consensus line just before the start. Every game uses only lines captured before it began. Regular season only.
Every graded official play that involved this team, on either side, at the price it was sent. The same plays as the Pick Archive and Results.
About these numbers
G&W Power Rating: how many points (goals, runs) better than an average team on a neutral field. The rank and every stat match the NCAAF power rankings table.
Exp W% is the win percentage the Ohio State Buckeyes scoring margin says they should have. Luck is actual win % minus Exp W%: positive means winning more than the scoring says, which tends to even out. Close W-L is the record in one-score games.
