The total is 43.5, which is a scary number considering Ohio State has only been in one contest in which the over hit, but this Buckeye squad is in a groove and I definitely lean toward taking the over. Jim Knowles has this Buckeye defense running on all cylinders and despite Wisconsin having some talent on offense, I expect a possible blowout this weekend. I feel good about laying the points against a depleted Badger roster that is still making adjustments to the dairy raid offense. Devin Brown went down with a leg injury against the Nittany Lions and is expected to be out for a few weeks. Of course, that was also what we were told going into last week. Ohio State was without Denzel Burke, Emeka Ehbuka and TreVeyon Henderson against Penn State, but the hope is all three will be ready to play this week. Badger linebacker Jordan Turner missed last week due to a concussion and will be another player to keep track of.
Obviously, the biggest player of note for Wisconsin is starting quarterback Tanner Mordecai, but it also lost key running back Chez Mullusi for the season. Both the Buckeyes and Badgers are getting destroyed health-wise. Injuries will again be something to monitor.
