Ohio State vs. Arkansas State score predictions: Will the Buckeye offense come alive?

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State soccer may plausibly be inspired by a season-opening 21-10 victory over Notre Dame.

For the following couple of weeks, although, the Buckeyes know they are going to be judged by whether or not or not they put a long way between themselves and their opponent. Arkansas State options a few dozen transfers — together with a number of from Energy 5 applications — however this isn’t a roster that ought to hold this sport aggressive into the second half.

Our Week 1 “bets” largely fell flat, so we have to bounce again this week. We’re all taking part in with much less bankroll than we began the season with already.

For this sport, we picked based mostly on Ohio State being favored by 44.5, with an over/beneath level whole of 68.5.

Watch the video above for a deeper dialogue on what we anticipate to occur Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

No drama this week. Ryan Day has come out aggressive towards overmatched opponents earlier than, and I anticipate the identical this week. The Buckeyes are already a bit banged up on offense. After taking part in nearly no depth within the opener, this can be a probability to get expertise on either side of the ball. Arkansas State has a number of Energy 5 transfers and should even transfer the ball between the 20s, however with nearly no margin for error, can it put up factors towards a really assured protection? Selecting the Purple Wolves’ aspect of the road has nothing to do with how aggressive I believe this sport will probably be.

Sport decide: Arkansas State +44.5. Guess 5 tokens.

Over/beneath: Underneath 68.5. Guess 10 tokens.

Present bankroll: 90

Ohio State 70, Arkansas State 7

Ryan Day has three 70-point video games in his profession. The primary got here when he was filling in for City Meyer throughout a 77-31 win over Oregon State. The opposite two got here throughout his first official season as head coach in 2019 with wins over Miami (OH) (76-5) and Maryland (73-14). It might look like the person answerable for what’s been the nation’s prime offense over the previous three years could be due for an additional scoring explosion. He may additionally get some assist from a Jim Knowles protection designed to create havoc and trigger turnovers in making that occur.

Sport decide: Ohio State -44.5. Guess 4 BT tokens.

Over/beneath: Over 68.5. Guess 10 BT tokens.

Present bankroll: 96.55

What does Ryan Day wish to do Saturday? There are causes to work on the run sport and the go sport, however I don’t know that Day will hold the strain on all afternoon. In a sport the place the Buckeyes can decide their rating, I don’t assume they’ll push it too excessive. And Arkansas State might need simply sufficient transfers from Energy 5 faculties to make a couple of performs. I just like the beneath greater than giving the 44.5, but when Arkansas State doesn’t sluggish the tempo as a lot as Notre Dame did, then the beneath may get iffy as nicely. I’m anticipating a clean show from the OSU offense regardless.

Sport decide: Ohio State -44.5. Guess 5 BT tokens.

Over/beneath: Underneath 68.5. Guess 10 BT tokens.

Present bankroll: 80
