Why Ohio State can cover

The Buckeyes are giving up just 6.8 points per game on defense this season, the fewest in college football. Ohio State has held opponents to seven points or fewer in four of its first five games, including last week’s 35-7 win over Iowa. The Buckeyes held the Hawkeyes to just 110 yards passing in the win.

Offensively, Ohio State scores 46.0 points per game, fourth best in the country. The Buckeyes are extremely effective on the ground, averaging 222.2 rushing yards per game. Quarterback Will Howard also played well in his first season in the Big Ten. Howard completed 21 of 25 passes for 209 yards and four touchdowns against Iowa last week. This season, Howard has completed 71.5% of his passes for 1,248 yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. See which team you should choose here.

Why Oregon Can Cover

The latest round of conference realignment has spread the Big Ten across the country, and the impact on travel has been noticeable as OSU will travel multiple time zones to visit Oregon. Big Ten teams playing opponents at least two time zones away are a combined 1-8 in conference play this season. The Buckeyes also have to deal with an adverse recent history as favorites against a top-five opponent. In Ohio State’s last eight games, when they were favored against an AP Top 5 team, the Buckeyes are just 1-7 against the slate.

The Ducks have limited four of their five opponents to 14 points or fewer, and OU has won 99 straight games despite opponents not having more than 14 points. This could be problematic for Ohio State as their point total has dropped in every game since Week 2. As for the Ducks’ offense, quarterback Dillon Gabriel leads the entire FBS with a completion percentage of 77.8 and is complemented in the backfield by running back Jordan James. The junior back has recorded 288 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in his first two Big Ten games. See which team you should choose here.
