Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Chris Fallica

Iowa has been shut out against the last three ranked teams it has faced, and if the Hawkeyes fall behind here, they are not equipped to come back. Ohio State has playmakers all over the place, and the Buckeyes will put up a big number in advance of the game at Autzen next week. 

PICK: Ohio State (-19.5) to win by more than 19.5 points
