Every week this season I will make my predictions for Big Ten games. I am excluding games against FCS teams. Here is how the East will do in week one beginning with Ohio State.
Ohio State (-27.5) vs. Florida Atlantic
A lot of factors go into the success of a season, but where the Buckeyes end up will be largely determined by improvements made by the defense.
That is why this game is about finding out if the changes made to the defensive staff have made a difference.
I know you can only take so much from the first game, but we should get a glimpse into the unit’s attitude, cohesion and determination that was inconsistent in 2018.
