Western Kentucky at Ohio State Preview & Picks

Ohio State are backed to win but fail to cover here.

The Buckeyes are yet to cover and this Western Kentucky offense is capable of putting up points to keep this respectable.

  • Ohio State are 0-2-0 ATS so far this season
  • Ohio State are 3-6-0 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games
  • The Over has cashed in 6 of Ohio State’s last 9 home games
  • Western Kentucky have scored 93 points across their first 2 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

Western Kentucky Form

Western Kentucky head to Ohio Stadium with a perfect record thanks to back-to-back victories.

The Hilltoppers opened the season at home to South Florida and were tied 17-17 going into half-time.

They lit up the Bulls in the second half though, out-scoring them 24-7 to surge to a 41-24 victory.

Western Kentucky then backed that up with a convincing blowout win over Houston Baptist last week.

The Hilltoppers raced out of the blocks with 21 unanswered first quarter points, and they never looked back as they cruised to a 52-22 win.

Ohio State Form

Ohio State have won their first two games of the season, but they have underwhelmed in those wins.

The Buckeyes opened the season with a conference game in Indiana, and although they came away with a win those responsible for the rankings were not impressed.

They went into that game as the #3 ranked team in the nation, but dropped to #5 after a lacklustre 23-3 win.

Ohio State’s defense came to play again last weekend, giving up just seven points, but again the offense failed to run up a high total.

The Buckeyes ran out 35-7 against an overmatched Youngstown State team, and despite that victory they are now #6 in the rankings.

Verdict

Ohio State are the better team and should win, but we have our doubts about them covering.

The Buckeyes are yet to record a cover this season, and this Western Kentucky offense is the best unit they have faced so far.
