The Ohio State Buckeyes are off to a blazing start to the season. They are 3-0 and have scored at least 49 points in all three games. Granted, they played Akron, Western Michigan, and Marshall, but their offense has been impressive.
Michigan State (3-1, 1-0) should be happy with their season’s start despite a loss to Boston College last week. They already have a W in the win column after beating Maryland in Week 1 of the conference season. Bringing in a new young QB will always have its growing pains, but if Adien Chiles can take care of the football, they should be bowl-bound at the end of the season.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets for Ohio State vs. Michigan State
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is betting on the Ohio State Team Total of Over 37.5:
“This game is one where Ohio State must be licking their chops ahead of Big Ten play. They have been on a roll, scoring at least 49 points in all three games. They play against a Michigan State team that is a bit better than the last three opponents, but this is a show-out party for the Buckeyes. Offensively, they are LOADED. Quinshon Judkins is a big play waiting to happen.
Jeremiah Smith may be the best freshman wide receiver in the country, and Will Howard has found his groove under center. Taking their team total feels right.”
