The Hilltoppers have rolled up 92 total points in 2 victories — topping South Florida 41-24 in the opener before belting FCS Houston Christian 52-22. WKU cashed the Over (63.5) against HCU, but it didn’t come close to covering the 42.5-point spread.
The Buckeyes struggled on offense in a 23-3 road win at Indiana in Week 1. Things were a little better in a 35-7 victory over Youngstown State of the FCS in the home opener, but it didn’t threaten to cover the 44.5-point spread at any point. The Under has cashed in both wins, with the defense allowing just 10 total points.
Ohio State is No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.
