Charleston Southern vs Ohio State Best Picks and Prediction
Charleston Southern are 9-3 Under in last 12 road games, while they are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games after a victory and 2-9 ATS in their previous 11 games on Thursday. The over is 4-1 in Ohio State's past 5 home games, but they are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after an ATS victory and 1-4 ATS in their last five games after an SU win.
I see why you might consider an underdog this season in some situations, but this is not one of them. On both sides of the ball, Charleston Southern is simply outmatched, and I anticipate Ohio State to come in and fully exploit this. If Ohio State can stay healthy, this is a squad that will succeed this year, and I predict that Ohio will win this game by a margin of at least 30.
Pick: Ohio State -25 (-110)
