Marshall at Ohio State Preview & Picks

Ohio State are tipped to cover as they make light work of Marshall.

The Buckeyes offense is firing on all cylinders and this defense is yet to give up a touchdown this season.

  • Ohio State are winning by an average of 51.0 points per game
  • Ohio State are 10-5-1 ATS in their last 16 home games
  • Marshall are 0-6-0 ATS in their previous 6 road games
  • The Over cashed in each of Ohio State's first two games

Head To Head

  • Ohio State lead the all-time series 2-0
  • Ohio State won 45-7 when the two teams last met in September 2010

Marshall Form

Marshall head out on the road for the second week running and for their biggest test of the season so far.

The Thundering Herd have made a mixed start to the season, blowing out Stony Brook 45-3 at home, before losing 31-14 at Virginia Tech.

They came into the campaign looking to finish with a winning record after finishing the last two regular seasons at the 6-6 mark.

Marshall opened last season with a four-game win streak, but saw their form collapse as they won only two conference games the rest of the way.

The Thundering Herd did enough to earn a trip to a Bowl game, but they were beaten 35-17 by UTSA in the Frisco Bowl.

Ohio State Form

Ohio State will look to notch one more win before they embark on their quest for a trip to the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoffs.

The Buckeyes missed out on both of those last season thanks to a costly defeat to bitter rivals Michigan.

They won 11 straight games, including victories over top-10 teams Notre Dame and Penn State, only to suffer a crushing 30-24 defeat to the Wolverines in the regular season finale.

Ohio State had to settle for a Cotton Bowl appearances as a result of that loss, and they were beaten 14-3 by Missouri in that matchup.

The Buckeyes are looking to put that disappointment firmly behind them this time around, and they made a dominant start with a 52-6 demolition of Akron and a 56-0 shutout of Michigan State.

Verdict

Ohio State are piling up points and giving almost nothing away on defense.

That spells trouble for a Marshall team who have not covered in their last six road games, so despite the big spread we are siding with the Buckeyes.
