I picked the Broncos to cover last week against Wisconsin, which was an easy win, and while I considered betting them at +37.5 this week, I see more value in a wager on the over at 54.5 total points.

WMU ranks top-15 nationally in returning production, as its offense brings back eight starters, including QB Hayden Wolff (65.5% CMP%), RB Jalen Buckley (1,003 rush yards and ten TDs), and leading receivers Kenneth Womack (76 receptions for 691 yards) and Anthony Sambucci (15.1 YPC AVG and five TDs). Ohio State's defense is world-class, but after showing some offensive explosion versus the Badgers, I feel confident the Broncos can put some points on the board.

Ohio State got off to a slow start vs. Akron but piled it on later, scoring 50 points in basically three quarters. K-State transfer Will Howard passed for 3 TDs, two of which went to superstar freshman Jeremiah Smith, and the ground game averaged 5.2 yards per carry. I can see the Buckeyes going for style points this week against a Broncos team that will get their respect after hanging with Wisconsin in their opener.

I won't be surprised if the over cashes with ease.
