In their season debut, they scored a 77-31 win over Oregon State before punching Rutgers in the mouth with a one-sided 52-3 victory last week. Through the first two weeks of the season, Ohio State is currently the best scoring team in the nation with a ridiculous 64.5 points per game.. The Buckeyes are not going to meet that average against a ranked TCU team, but they are going to be handful. Against the Scarlett Knights, Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins had an efficient game, passing for 233 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions on 20-of-23 completions. On the season, Haskins has five passing touchdowns. Running back Tate Martell, meanwhile, rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown on eight carries against Rutgers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Buckeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last four games.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Betting on the TCU Horned Frogs (+13.0 Spread \/ 2-0 Overall Record)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the Buckeyes, TCU has been destroyed its last two opponents. The Horned Frogs kicked off the season with a 55-7 win over Southern then trounced SMU on the road last week, 42-12. They weren\u2019t able to cover the huge 50-point spread in the Southern game but easily beat the 23.5 point spread as the favorites against the Mustangs. Key to the Horned Frogs\u2019 success thus far in the season is their high-octane backfield that is averaging 247.0 rushing yards per game, good for 25<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> best in the nation. TCU is determined to run the ball, as evidenced by its 60.0 rushing play percentage through the team\u2019s first two games. It\u2019s hard to predict how well TCU\u2019s defense will stand against Ohio State\u2019s punishing offense, as the Horned Frogs have not faced even a top-20 attack this season, though, they are allowing just 12.0 points per game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TCU is 2-2 ATS in its last four games as the home team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Writer\u2019s Prediction <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ohio State wins, 35-28.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Click here to make your NCAA football picks<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"156336\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,856&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 15 TCU Horned Frogs have not shared a field since 1973, but they will finally have their first date in over<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"156336\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,856&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":156338,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[393,46],"tags":[348,620,2455,2203,2305,2193,587,33859,33858,33856,33857,33864,33863,33861,33860,33862],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
