Prediction
Ohio State has yet to be tested at all this season and therefore find themselves as favorites of more than three touchdowns. One aspect of their game that has been consistent is their first-half play. The Buckeyes have been leading at halftime in all three of their games by at least 14 points and even though this is their first true road game, backing the same here against an average Michigan State team will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Ohio State Buckeyes -13.5 1st Half (-112)
