Ohio State is Perfect at Home

All the offensive statistics were fairly even between Oregon and Ohio State, and the only turnover in the game was a fumble by the Buckeyes.

Nebraska vs Ohio State Prediction

Ohio State will cover the spread because all four of their home games this season have been extreme blowouts. Additionally, the Buckeyes just had a tough battle with the best team in college football and almost won. Ohio State is eager to return home and regain their dominance on both sides of the ball. Nebraska’s defense has been inconsistent and has struggled in both games against ranked teams.
