Free Betting Pick: Ohio State Buckeyes -16.5
The Ohio State Buckeyes are the best team in the country in my opinion as they have been great on both sides of the ball (1st in points scored, 4th in points allowed), and they have already beat this Wisconsin team by 31 points this season. Wisconsin had an explosive showing on the offensive side of the ball against Minnesota, but I don’t think they will be able to resemble their success, especially if they can’t get star RB Jonathan Taylor going. Ohio State has the ability to destroy teams through the air, but their ground attack has arguably been the backbone of the offense as J.K. Dobbins has compiled 1657 yards and 19 TDs while QB Justin Fields has run for 10 TDs. Ohio State has the opportunity to claim the #1 seed in the College Football Playoff, and they will set the tone with a blowout win. Final Score Prediction, Ohio State Buckeyes win and cover ATS 35-10.
