Result: Win
Point Spread: 19.00 | -105.00 Nebraska (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: Ohio State lost to Purdue and star DE Nick Bosa has withdrawn to concentrate on the NFL Draft. The Buckeyes have had a week off to ponder their upcoming fate and I think that "rest" will in fact lead to "rust" in this case.
The teams: Nebraska started the year 0-6, but it comes in with some momentum off back-to-back victories, including beating Minnesota at home and then a 45-9 smash job of Bethune Cookman last weekend. QB Adrian Martinez had two TD's and an INT. Overall the Huskers are averaging 29.8 PPG and allowing 33.4.
The Buckeyes are averaging 43 PPG and allowing 22.9. Note though that they've given up 28.8 PPG average over the past four weeks. QB Dwayne Haskins was 49 of 73 for 470 yards two TD's and an INT in the loss to the Boilermakers.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Nebraska is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after scoring 45 points or more in its previous outing. I'm banking on the Buckeyes "looking past" their opponent today. Grab the points.
