COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: Ohio State is 19-7-1 ATS L27 Big 10 road games and is 6-1 ATS L7 on the road in series. Last year: Michigan State (+3) over OHIO STATE, 10-7. Ohio State is looking for a signature victory and this could be it. They were flat last week in a 29-15 win over an awful UAB team. Michigan State wasn’t much better in a 23-7 win over Eastern Michigan. OSU head coach Urban Meyer called his team "passive", which means they will come out strong hits week. Ohio State’s star is quarterback Braxton Miller, who is tied for 16th in the nation with 110.3 yards per game game rushing. This will be a battle of tough defenses, with the Buckeyes having a slight edge as they look to slow down Le’Veon Bell and the Spartans’ rushing attack.
