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.
