Analysis
Ohio State -3 1H - Wynn, Pinnacle, MGM, etc. 3.5 will work too. On paper this should be a close game and thankfully it's not played on paper. It's about "right now," and although I won't buy into the recency bias that is Ohio State for the full game, for the 1H I certainly will. Their offense is clicking. They hung 42 on a good Tennessee defense, albeit at home. They destroyed Oregon early and that's what I am looking at happening tonight. Texas' inability to put away Arizona State was telling and I put that on Sarkisian. All of it. It' clear to anyone that the Buckeye's loss to Michigan was the outlier. The emotion, over confidence, or what have you. But in all honesty I think that was a good thing. Not only did it humble them but it motivated them even more. I don't trust Sarkisian. He was 2-4 as a head coach in bowls coming into this season. He's now beaten Clemson at home and ASU. Not impressive. Ohio State beat the #1 seed and destroyed a good Vols team. If this game were a month ago I might feel differently. Ohio State has the better coach and more ways to win.
