Bowling Green vs. Ohio State Prediction and Pick

Ohio State has lofty expectations this season, but has not looked the part of a Big Ten contender just yet, going to the wire with Akron and beating Niagara by 10 on Friday. However, the team may be in a good get right spot on Monday, possessing the necessary size and shot making to push this game out of reach for the visitors.

Ohio State has struggled defending the 3 this season, but that feels due to regress back to the mean. The Buckeyes have allowed their two mid-major opponents to shoot over 40% from 3 so far, but Bowling Green is shooting just 14% from deep on the year. While both things are bound to meet in the middle, I see Ohio State seeing some more positive development given their skill advantage .

As well, Ohio State has big men such as Key, E.J. Liddell and Kyle Young to punish a weak defensive rebounding Falcons club. Bowling Green was 233rd in opponent's offensive rebounding percentage last season, and has been even worse to start this season.

Bet the Buckeyes to cover this spread despite the slow start.

PICK: Ohio State -16.5
