ChatGPT prediction for Ohio State Buckeyes vs Indiana Hoosiers, 07 December 2025.
This is a winner-take-all clash: No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana meet in the Big Ten title game with massive stakes and razor-thin separation. Oddsmakers have Ohio State as a narrow favorite — 1.55 — while Indiana comes in at 2.55, reflecting a matchup that should be decided by a few key plays.
Ohio State’s elite defense (7.8 PPG allowed) and an NFL-caliber receiving corps give them the matchup advantages needed in clutch moments, while Indiana’s top-tier defense and Heisman-caliber QB Fernando Mendoza ensure this won’t be easy. Pundits foresee a low-scoring, physical game; OSU’s experience in title games and proven late-game execution tilt the edge.
Betting angle: at 1.55 I project Ohio State’s win probability in the mid-to-high 60s, making a $1 bet on the Buckeyes a reasonable value play in a tight, defensive battle.

Gemini prediction for Ohio State Buckeyes vs Indiana Hoosiers, 07 December 2025.
This Big Ten title game is a clash of titans, with both Ohio State and Indiana entering undefeated. While the Buckeyes are 1.55 favorites, the Hoosiers, at 2.55, present a compelling underdog narrative. Indiana's Heisman-frontrunner quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, poses a unique threat that Ohio State's secondary hasn't encountered this season. However, Ohio State's NFL-caliber receiving corps is a clear advantage against even Indiana's top-tier secondary. Last year's 38-15 romp by Ohio State fuels Indiana's revenge narrative, suggesting a tighter contest this time around. Pundits are split, but the consensus leans towards a low-scoring, physical battle, with Ohio State's experience in title games and ability to make crucial plays likely tipping the scales. The predicted scores of 27-20 or 27-17 for Ohio State highlight their defensive strength and just enough offensive firepower to win a close one.

Claude prediction for Ohio State Buckeyes vs Indiana Hoosiers, 07 December 2025.
This Big Ten title clash between undefeated Ohio State and Indiana has all the makings of a classic. While Indiana has been this season's surprise story under Curt Cignetti, with Heisman contender Fernando Mendoza leading their offense, the Buckeyes present a different level of challenge.
Ohio State's defense allowing just 7.8 points per game will be the difference maker. Their elite secondary should contain Mendoza just enough, while their NFL-caliber receiving corps will find ways to make crucial plays against Indiana's strong secondary.
The 1.55 odds for Ohio State reflect their slight edge, though Indiana at 2.55 offers value for believers in the Hoosiers' Cinderella run. Last year's 38-15 Ohio State victory provides motivation for Indiana, but the Buckeyes' championship pedigree and defensive excellence should prevail in a tight, lower-scoring affair than many expect - something closer to 27-20 rather than last year's blowout.

Grok prediction for Ohio State Buckeyes vs Indiana Hoosiers, 07 December 2025.
In this epic Big Ten title showdown, No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes face No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers, both undefeated and eyeing a College Football Playoff spot. The Buckeyes, listed as slight road favorites at 1.55, bring an elite defense that's surrendered just 7.8 points per game, setting up a defensive slugfest against Indiana's unit, which ranks second nationally at 10.9 points allowed.
Indiana's Heisman hopeful QB Fernando Mendoza poses a real threat with his poise and precision, but Ohio State's NFL-caliber receivers could exploit the Hoosiers' secondary in key moments. Last year's 38-15 Buckeye blowout fuels Indiana's revenge fire under coach Curt Cignetti, yet pundits lean toward Ohio State's championship experience shining through in a tight battle.
Expect a low-scoring affair near the 48 over/under, with Ohio State pulling ahead late, much like predicted scores of 27-20 or 27-17. The value here is on the Buckeyes at 1.55—their edge in big games makes this a smart play to build your bankroll.

In a winner-take-all Big Ten title game with playoff stakes, No. 1 Ohio State's elite defense (7.8 PPG allowed) clashes with No. 2 Indiana's opportunistic unit (10.9 PPG). Indiana's Heisman frontrunner QB Fernando Mendoza poses a unique threat, but the Buckeyes' NFL-caliber receivers and experience in championship settings are key edges.
Analysts forecast a tight, low-scoring war, with predictions like 27-20 favoring Ohio State. At odds of 1.55, the Buckeyes offer a safer bet, while Indiana at 2.55 is tempting, but Ohio State's defensive prowess and title-game pedigree should secure a narrow victory.

Qwen prediction for Ohio State Buckeyes vs Indiana Hoosiers, 07 December 2025.
This Big Ten title clash between Ohio State and Indiana shapes up as a heavyweight defensive battle with explosive offensive potential. Ohio State’s defense, allowing just 7.8 points per game, is the nation’s stingiest, but it faces its toughest test yet against an Indiana offense led by Heisman frontrunner Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza’s precision and poise could exploit what analysts see as a rare vulnerability in Ohio State’s secondary, which hasn’t faced a quarterback of his caliber this season.
On the flip side, Ohio State’s NFL-ready receiving corps presents a significant challenge for Indiana’s vaunted secondary. The Buckeyes’ experience in high-stakes games—combined with their 38–15 rout of Indiana last season—gives them a psychological edge. However, revenge could be a powerful motivator for Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers, who are playing with house money as underdogs at 2.55 odds.
Oddsmakers have set Ohio State as modest favorites at 1.55, reflecting confidence in their ability to grind out close wins. Yet, the tight spread and pundits’ predictions of low-scoring outcomes suggest this game will come down to execution under pressure. Given both defenses’ dominance, turnovers or special teams plays might swing the result. While Indiana has closed the gap since last year, Ohio State’s big-game pedigree tips the scales slightly in their favor.
