CFB STEAMROLLER GAME OF THE WEEK … Ohio St. (-34)
N. Illinois at Ohio St. (-34) 3:30 ET ESPN2
In Week 1, we lost with N. Illinois as the STEAMROLLER OF THE WEEK, when they allowed UNLV and their high-school HC to score 30 points in an 8 point NIU victory. Last week, was equally unimpressive. As although NIU beat Murray St. (57-26) rolling up 643 total yards, they allowed the Racers 26 points and 373 yards. I am well aware of the strong history of the MAC’s best program in this role. NIU is 17-8 ATS as road dog and on runs of 9-1 and 5-0 ATS vs. the BIG 10. Just like everybody else on the Buckeyes’ schedule, this is a huge game for the Huskies. Ohio St. lacked focus last week in their win, no cover, against an outmanned Hawaii team. A perennial MAC champion will garner more attention from the Buckeyes with only W. Michigan on deck. Despite last week’s non-cover, HC Meyer remains 40-13 ATS in non-con games. This week, Meyer unleashes the 4-headed offensive threat that is RB Elliott, RB/WR Miller, as well as the dual tandem of QB Barrett and QB Jones for a STEAMROLLER type of effort. But, the main reason for this cover is an Ohio St. defense which has held VA Tech to just 320 yards and Hawaii to only 165 yards last week. Lay the number with the Buckeyes as they STEAMROLL the Huskies into submission.
