Advice and prediction
Ohio State has been hard to figure out over the last week. It beat Illinois on the road, but lost other games at home it should have won. Part of that has been because of a week that saw the Buckeyes play four times shorthanded, but some of it had to do with poor play in general. Penn State gave Ohio State fits the last time these two matched up but is coming off of a game Wednesday where it had to fight hard in the second half to pull it out against Minnesota. A more rested Ohio State team wins and covers the spread.
Prediction: Ohio State 75, Penn State 68
