Their chances of ending that drought aren\u2019t looking good to say the least, but please consider that this team is currently on a three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>During that run, Northwestern has been pouring on the points, averaging almost 40 per game. Junior running back Justin Jackson has carried most of the load offensively, as he\u2019s gaining 5.1 yards per carry to go along with three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Stopping the Ohio State offense is the main concern for the Wildcats, though. They have a mediocre pass defense that\u2019s allowing nearly 300 yards per contest, the worst in the Big Ten. They\u2019re also allowing opponents to an average of 40.4 throws, which is also the poorest in the conference.<\/p>\n<p>Northwestern is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games overall.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Ohio State Buckeyes (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\" target=\"_blank\">-27<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s futile to think that the sixth-ranked Buckeyes are going to lose this one. Yes, they\u2019re probably still trying to recover from the shocking loss to Penn State last week, but rest assured you can expect them to respond in a very big way against the visiting Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio State should bulldoze past Northwestern\u2019s defense with ease. The reigning national champs are averaging at least 500 offensive yards per game this season, including 281.6 yards on the ground. Speaking of which, Curtis Samuel and Mike Weber, both of whom have amassed 1,210 rushing yards combined and four scores each, are in line for an explosive outing.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, quarterback J.T. Barrett, one of the leading favorites (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/2016-heisman-trophy\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+1,200<\/strong><\/a>) to win this year\u2019s Heisman Trophy and boasts a team-high of six running TDs, provide headaches for the opposing D as well. Barrett, however, has slightly struggled with his passes lately as he\u2019s completing less than 60 percent of his throws along with two interceptions in his previous three games.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio State is 9-1 SU and 5-5 ATS in its last 10 home games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Buckeyes (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\"
