Tennessee is coming into this game with a 10-2 record this season and they have been playing very well all season, specifically on defense. They are only averaging 13.9 points allowed per game and they have a very good defensive line. They are going up against an Ohio State team that is 10-2 this season and has also been very good on defense this year. Ohio State missed out on the Big 10 Championship due to a loss in their last game of the season which sent Penn State, but that was an awful loss to take at home against Michigan 13-10. They were not able to match the physicality of Michigan in that game and that will be a problem against this Tennessee defense. Ohio State is also missing some key pieces in their offensive line so this Tennessee defensive line is going to be able to get after them in this game. Will Howard made some big mistakes in that game against Michigan as well so the Tennessee defense will get this offense into good scoring positions. Howard threw 2 INTs against Michigan and 1 against Penn State, and they struggled to come out quickly in both of those games. Ohio State has the advantage with the quality they have in the passing game, but Tennessee has a good pass defense that will keep them in this game and it will be just as hard for Ohio State's offense to move the ball here as it will be for Tennessee. Tennessee will cover the spread in this game.
