Result: Win
Point Spread: -6.50 | -106.00 Ohio State (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Ohio State came into the season as defending champions, and while it won it's first 10 games, it wasn't until the season finale that we saw the Buckeyes look like the team that beat Oregon in last year's final. Ezekiel Elliot ran for 214 yards and two TDs in a 42-13 win over the Wolverines in Michigan. They will face the Notre Dame Irish in the Fiesta Bowl, and I expect to see a similar performance here.
The Buckeyes offense was far more efficient in the second half of the season, once Urban Meyer decided to hand the starting job to J.T. Barrett, who was unbelievable in the win over Michigan. He ran for 139 yards and three TDs in that game. Notre Dame only played two teams that appeared in the Top 25 rankings at the end of the season, and they lost both those games. The loss to Stanford was a particularly painful one, surrendering a game winning Field Goal just 45 seconds after scoring the go-ahead TD. The Buckeyes have covered the spread in four straight neutral site games, while the Irish have only covered once in their last six versus BIG10 teams.
Take OSU.
