Northwestern vs Ohio State Prediction

Ohio State will enter this game as a massive favorite, and rightfully so. There is a solid possibility that Ohio State will still be undefeated with a near lock on their respective playoff spot. Head coach Ryan Day has the Buckeyes humming behind transfer quarterback Will Howard, freshman sensation Jeremiah Smith, a strong ground game, a great offensive line, albeit out their starting tackle, and a defense that should smother the Wildcats in all facets of the game and continue to solidify themselves as one of the top teams in the nation.

Northwestern, which struggled against its Big 10 opponents this season (like most seasons), still has a losing record and is often statistically outmatched against solid opponents. Averaging just 19 points per game and ranking near the bottom of college football on third-down conversions, it is hard to see how the Wildcats could be competitive against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

While no game is ever decided before the game is played, expect a big win by the Buckeyes, who will be jostling for a top-four spot in the college football playoffs this November Saturday match-up.
