The plays
Ohio State Buckeyes (-15.5, 62) at Penn State Nittany Lions
The Bear: Much has been made about the ATS success James Franklin has had in the series with Ohio State and the thought that Penn State got right last week vs. Minnesota. But that was a one-dimensional Minnesota offense. There was zero threat of a passing attack with freshman Athan Kaliakmanis making his first start. Now the Nittany Lions have to deal with all of the challenges Ohio State brings. If the Buckeyes don't turn it over, they should win handily.
Pick: Ohio State -15.5
