Every week, we will be picking the score, MVP, and major storyline for each Buckeye game.
Being the Buckeye beat’s black sheep blog, we here at Land-Grant Holy Land like to pat ourselves on the back. So, throughout the season, members of our staff will be making predictions about that day’s game. They will go on the record with what they think the final score will be, who the game’s MVP will be, and what the major storyline will be coming out of the day.
The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Akron Zips on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 3:30 p.m. ET in a game to be broadcast on CBS. As of this article’s writing, the Bucks are 48.5-point favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
