Those responsible for setting the betting lines on these sorts of things don’t expect Maryland to give Ohio State much of a game on Saturday. As it stands, depending on what site is your go-to for the Vegas lines, OSU is favored by about three touchdowns.

It’s all predicated on the Terps receiving a mega toilet swirly at the hands of Iowa last week, in combination with Ohio State knocking the pile of wood that was being chopped out from behind the woodshed against Rutgers.

But prior to last week, we saw an undefeated Maryland team that had been pretty solid with a win against a very competitive West Virginia team already on the season.

So, there are clearly some things there that might give the Terps a chance to make things difficult against the Buckeyes and we’re going to highlight three of them.  On that note, here are three reasons Maryland could pose some issues for Ohio State Saturday at high Noon.

It’s time for the next step of the journey for the Ohio State football team and it’s one back at home against the Maryland Terrapins. The Buckeyes looked like a team searching for answers across multiple fronts through the first three games, but the last two contests have shown a lot of improvement.

Each week we stretch things a little and try to reach for some bold predictions going into the game. We’ve been surprisingly right when stepping out on a limb a few times this year, but we’ve also been not so right. After all, they are bold predictions and not the garden variety that anyone can easily shake a stick at.

Time to look into the crystal ball, get the tarot cards out, and consult the magic eight ball for five things that might (but probably won’t) happen for Ohio State against the Maryland Terrapins.

Here we go with another week for the Ohio State football team. The Buckeyes sit at 4-1 and look like a much-improved ball club after the first few weeks of the year with all the youth and uncertainty throughout the roster.

Now, it’s on to another Big Ten game, this OSU’s first conference game of the season at home in the ‘Shoe, and it’s the Maryland Terrapins coming to town. It’s a Terps squad that got bludgeoned and battered last week against Iowa, but otherwise is 4-1 on the season.

As we do with before every game, we’ve asked our writers to opine on what they believe will happen in the game and we’re doing it again before the Week 6 matchup.

Here are our Buckeyes Wire staff predictions for Ohio State vs. Maryland.
