ROGERS' 10* AFTERNOON GAME OF THE WEEK (THE BIG ONE!)
(NCAAF) Miami-OH vs. Ohio State,
Point Spread: 39.50 | -110.00 Miami-OH (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 39.50 | -110.00 Miami-OH (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: I'm not predicting an outright upset. I just think that Ohio State will take the foot off the gas in the second half as it plays out the final game of the non-conference schedule. Miami Ohio lost to Iowa 38-14, beat Tennessee Tech 48-17 and then fell to Cincinnati 35-13. Who could fault the Buckeyes for looking past their lowly opponent after starting the year 3-0, with a 45-21 win over FAU, a 42-0 victory over Cincinnati and a 51-10 effort over Indiana last week.
The pick: Justin Fields clearly has the advantage over Miami's Brett Gabbert, but as mentioned, this is a situational play more than anything else. The RedHawks have plenty to work on in this game which they know they're going to lose, while Ohio State can simply "go through the motions" and still get the job done before a difficult upcoming Big Ten schedule. I'm grabbing the points.
