Ohio State is 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games on turf and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games. The over is 7-1 in Ohio State’s last 8 games.

The over is 7-0 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.
Maryland comes into this game after looking horrible on offense in their past two games. The Terrapins have scored 10 points total in their last two games and will go up against an Ohio State team that will probably score 40+. Ohio State has so much to play for and they are the much better team. I like the Buckeyes here.
