This Ohio State team may look good on paper with their wins so far, but they aren't the best Ohio State team as produced in previous years. The last few times they played the Badgers, two games have gone to overtime and one was within one score. Wisconsin plays tough at home and despite not having starting QB Mordecai, Locke has stepped in and has been serviceable so far. Wisconsin may not have the talent that the Buckeyes have but they are a tough team that will put up a fight and they have a strong defense. They do have home advantage in this one as the Buckeyes are 1-3-1 ATS on the road in their last five games.

Ohio St as a road favorite of 14.5 or more points are 1-1 ATS this season and only 4-4 ATS in the last three seasons. Ohio St after covering the spread in 4 out of their last 5 games are just 0-3 ATS in the last three seasons. Wisconsin as a home underdog are 14-5 ATS since 1992.

Best bet: take the points with Wisconsin.
