Ohio State vs. Wisconsin: Picks

The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off a hard-fought game against Penn State which was a huge game on their schedule. Now, against Wisconsin, take Kyle McCord to throw over 1.5 passing touchdowns. He has thrown over 1.5 passing touchdowns in just two of his last four games but against this Wisconsin defense, this is a good spot to go over.

The Wisconsin Badgers, meanwhile, have a solid running back in Braelon Allen who ran for 145 yards on 29 carries last week. Wisconsin will rely heavily on the ground game, so take Allen's over rushing yards in this matchup.

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Prediction

Ohio State has done enough to be 7-0 this week, but at times have struggled. Given how much importance was on last week's game for Ohio State's chances of winning the Big 10, this does feel like a letdown spot for the Buckeyes.

However, Ohio State does have a good defense and should be able to still get the win. But, this game will be closer than most expect.

Prediction: Ohio State wins but doesn't cover the spread.
