Iowa has been able to keep some games close with its defense but this offense is awful. The Hawkeyes are #127 in the nation in total yards (253.8 per game) and #120 in points (16.2 pg). QB Spencer Petras (2 TDs, 3 picks, 18 sacks) gets no help behind a weak offensive line as the running game averages just 2.6 yards per rush. Ohio State is loaded with NFL talent with an offense that is second in the country in total yards (543.7 yards per game) and No. 1 in scoring (48.8 ppg), while the defense is fourth in yards allowed. Ohio State is on an 18-9 spread run in Big 10 action and 17-8 ATS after a win by 17+ points. And college football teams like the Buckeyes that are favorites of 21.5 to 31 points are 44-15 ATS after scoring 37+ points in five consecutive contests. Play Ohio State.
