The Eleven Warriors staff predicts another dominant showing by Ohio State when Western Michigan comes to town for a primetime battle at the Shoe.
Playing in primetime for the first time in the 2024 season, the Buckeyes welcome a Western Michigan squad to Ohio Stadium after thumping the Akron Zips 52-6 in their season-opener in Week 1.The Broncos gave Wisconsin quite the scare at Camp Randall Stadium in Week 1, holding a one-point lead in the fourth quarter before the Badgers ripped off 15 unanswered points to escape with a win.
As the Buckeyes take on their second Mid-American Conference opponent in as many weeks, the Eleven Warriors staff expects another dominant showing from Ohio State on Saturday.The Buckeyes’ offense will take strides in some facets from Week 1 to Week 2, but Western Michigan’s defense proved somewhat stingy against Wisconsin and I’m not expecting Ohio State to score two touchdowns on defense every game.I was bold last week and predicted a shutout for Ohio State. That was a bad call.
Five members of the Eleven Warriors staff predicted the Buckeyes would fall short of that mark, with George Eisner, Jack Emerson, Johnny Ginter, Kyle Jones and Chris Lauderback all taking the under.Like the spread, the over/under dipped from Ohio State’s season-opening bout as oddsmakers predicted the Buckeyes and Broncos will combine for 54.5 points on Saturday.
The 11W staff is split on if the total will clear that high mark, with six members predicting the total to go over. In fact, Ramzy Nasrallah believes the Buckeyes will clear that total mark by themselves, predicting Ohio State will score 56 points against the Bronco defense.Looking for more lines to evaluate?
