Minnesota at Ohio State

At 4-0, Ohio State is certainly in the hunt for a national championship. The Buckeyes have outscored their four opponents by an average score of 36-6. I like taking very strong defensive teams as big dogs because they limit opponents ability to score. The Golden Gophers are allowing just 16 PPG on the season. They are allowing just 230 YPG on the season at 4.2 YPP. The Buckeyes beat Grambling St. 70-0, but in their other three games they have scored just an average of 25 PPG. So we have a team averaging 25 PPG favored by just about the same number, against a defense allowing 16 PPG. This is a big line for game situations that indicate the Ohio State offense isn't on the elite level. Make the play on Minnesota.

Minnesota at Ohio State

November 7, 2015

8:00 PM Eastern

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have proven to be able to stop the mediocre offenses that they have faced this season. It remains to be seen if they can handle the potent Buckeyes attack, even though they will be without QB J.T. Barrett. Minnesota has faced five teams that average fewer than 28 points per game and held them to 91 points or 18.2 ppg. However, the two offenses that average over 28 ppg against they have allowed 38.5 ppg against. Ohio State is far and away better than either of those two, and at the same time have an elite defense, while the Minnesota offensive attack is below average. This should lead to a huge advantage by Ohio State on both sides of the ball. The Buckeyes also have a 56-19 ATS situation on their side, as well as a 29-4 ATS situation. Lay the points on Ohio State in a lopsided win.
