The Buckeyes are going to be strongagain along both sides of the line of scrimmage. Indiana is a program that's improved over the past five years and often can stay in games early against top competition. Eventually, though, the Hoosiers run out of gas and get blown out late. Lay the points with Ohio State.
My numbers see the Buckeyes and Hoosiers combining for 46 points or fewer more than two thirds of the time in their season-opening matchup. This gives us a strong position on the Under against a total of 56.5, because the number provides a ton of wiggle room versus my projections. Both teams should be strong on defense and use a run-first attack on offense, leading to clock-milking pace in our favor.
