Ohio State is 1-0 SU, but it was unable to cover the ridiculous 49-point spread in its 52-6 home win over Akron last week. Now with a much "smaller" spread this week, I believe the Buckeyes will once again blow out their opponent in front of the hometown crowd this week, while also going on to cover the more "manageable" spread at the same time. It's another case of "David vs. Goliath" this week, as Western Michigan comes to town after a 28-14 loss at Wisconsin. It covered with the 24-point spread, but I just can't see the visiting side keeping pace with the Buckeyes down the stretch. Western Michigan finally returns for its first home game of the season next week, a "cream puff" vs. Bethune Cookman. Lance Taylor struggled for the most part last week, and so did the defense for WMU (especially against the run allowing three rushing TD's.) Will Howard should be even better this week for OSU after debuting with 228 passing yards and three touchdowns in the blowout victory over Akron. The Buckeyes also return seven starters on defense and as stated, I foresee WMU really struggling to move the ball at all this weekend. The Broncos are 0-6 SU/ATS their last 6 against the Big Ten. Lay the points with confidence, the play is on the Buckeyes to win in a rout.
