Result:
LOSS

Many will look at this line and really take a liking to Northern Illinois. The Huskies have won 11 or more games five years in a row and have opened at 2-0 this season. The Huskies are still a good team by MAC standards, but they are by no means a good team by Big-10 standards, at least this year, and certainly not anywhere near Ohio State. It is almost scary to look at the numbers put up by Ohio State since the start of the 2013 season. They have averaged 44.8 points per game. The scary part of that is that this team is even better than any of those teams were in a given moment in time, on both sides of the ball. Ohio State plays mostly Big-10 competition at home, where the average jumps to 46.5ppg and the margin of victory at 30 points a game. Think they have little trouble extending that margin vs a MAC opponent, that is not as good as they were 2 years ago. Make the play on Ohio St.
