Ohio State College Football Picks, Prediction vs. the Spread

Ohio State is one of those teams that has a lot of momentum coming into the 2010 season. Additionally, Ohio State is a squad that is constantly underrated because of its style of play. Along with much of the Big 10, Ohio Style typically finds itself with advantageous numbers early in the year. When you make your college football picks in the coming year, you need to be on the lookout for solid Ohio State numbers. Starting in last year’s Rose Bowl, the Bucks punched their ticket to the top-5 in 2010, and they look like a strong bet to be in it all year long.

So why do we like Ohio State so much? Though their style might not be exciting, they just play good ball. You can always count on Ohio State having solid defense, especially in the front 7. That should happen once again, as they return the majority of their defensive starters. On the offensive side of the ball, Tyrelle Pryor is back. He looked much better down the stretch last year, and many believe that he can be an improved passer this year. If he adds that element to his scrambling game, Pryor could be an offensive force that runs over the Big 10.

The Bucks have flopped in big games time and again, but they are still a good value play. With a good coach, an experienced, talented quarterback, and depth along the lines, Ohio State has everything in place to be very good. Don’t miss out on the chance to bet them in the early going of 2010. The lines will be short before people recognize that Ohio State has a legitimate chance to win the National title. You won’t get those lines later in the year, so spot your college football picks early.
