Penn State at Ohio State

This is a huge marquee showdown between two of the three unbeaten teams in the Big 10 East -- and college football showdowns often mean intense defense. It's also a battle of Top 7 teams in the nation with national title aspirations. Penn State is undefeated and has NFL talent on offense, but don't overlook this talented Nittany Lions defense that is tops in the nation in points allowed (9.6 points per game). Ohio State will look to control the ball and the clock with its elite ground attack, ranked #18 in the nation in rushing. The Buckeyes have outstanding pass rushers and talent on the defensive line at #10 in the country in points allowed (15.4 ppg). On third-and-longs, the Buckeyes will often deploy four defensive ends at once to overwhelm opposing offensive lines with their pass rush. Ohio State generated six pressures of Penn State QB Trace McSorley last season, helping force him into an 8-for-23 performance. That game, a 24-21 final, sailed UNDER the total by 13 points and the UNDER is 6-2 when these rivals clash in Columbus. Play the UNDER.
