Big Ten game of the week with the conference’s best team at home against a ranked opponent. I am just not sold on Pryor which makes it hard for me to back OSU when they are somewhat evenly matched physically. I want to predict the upset but instead I will play it safe and have OSU win by a FG making Miami the easy cover. The spread on this one has already lost a point so get on it quickly.

Prediction: Ohio State 27 – Miami 24 – Bet Now

Odds: Ohio State: -8.5 – Miami: +8.5 – Over/Under: 47
