Ohio State vs Washington Prediction
Washington is off to a fine start with an underrated defense and an offense that’s top-10 in both total offense and scoring offense. The problem is Washington hasn’t played anybody up to this point, so the jury is still out on what’s real and what isn’t. Washington has failed to cover 6 of its last 7 games as an underdog. Ohio State is 7-3-1 ATS in its last 11 games when favorites of 7 or more points. Also, Ohio State has had an extra week to prepare for this game. It’s hard to turn down the better team that also has the rest advantage. I expect Ohio State to make a statement and get a big road win by double digits.
