Ohio State Buckeyes (2015: 12-1 SU, 6-7 ATS)
Odds to win conference: +170
Season win total: 9.5
Why bet the Buckeyes: Ohio State is 31-1 in conference play in four years under Urban Meyer, so the conference certainly goes thru the Buckeyes. Ohio State will host Michigan after thumping the Wolverines 42-13 in Ann Arbor last season, so it’s easy to see why the Buckeyes are the clear-cut favorites to win the Big Ten.
Why not bet the Buckeyes: Head coach Urban Meyer was quoted that last year’s Ohio State team would be his best. They came up short in a loss to Michigan State, and the Buckeyes now have to replace 16 outgoing starters. While it’s true they simply reload, the inexperience will likely get them at some point this season. Ohio State will be overpriced in just about every game, so be careful when backing the Buckeyes in 2016.
Season win total pick: Over 9.5
