Ohio State had a scare last week in its 42-35 win over Indiana, so it won't take any team lightly from here on out as the Buckeyes survived Justin Fields' three interceptions to pull out the win. Fields had been nearly perfect this season and he expects to have a better performance this week although he did throw for 300 yards and two touchdowns. Illinois lost its first three games before bouncing back and beating Rutgers and Nebraska. The Fighting Illini are only #97 in the country in total yards allowed and #86 in pass defense. The Buckeyes are racking up 535.3 yards and 45.3 points per game and appear to be nearly impossible to stop offensively. The teams haven't met since 2017 when Ohio State won 52-14. The Buckeyes have covered the spread 11 of their last 16 conference games and five of their last seven road contests. Lay the points with Ohio State.

It was almost conceded that the Ohio State Buckeyes would enter the Final Four as the #1 team in the country, and repeat their National Championship win from last season. That has not been the case for the Buckeyes, at least not yet. The Buckeyes public impression is offense, but the fact is their scoring is down by eight points per game vs. last season, and surprisingly the defense has been why they are unbeaten. The Buckeye stop unit is allowing just 13.9 ppg on the season, an improvement of eight ppg over last year's squad. That means Ohio State has seen a 16 ppg drop from their total points scored in their games from last year. Illinois has had a lot of empty offensive games vs. good defensive teams, scoring 14 or less four times this season, and have only surrendered 30+ in two games. Ohio State is now 8-1 to the UNDER in their last nine after a win, matched by the Illini's 7-1 mark to the UNDER in their last eight vs. a winning team. Play the UNDER.
