MC&J: Ohio State has business to handle in Week 13 against Rutgers
Last week ATS: 9-7 (3-5 National, 6-2 B1G) Season ATS: 106-97 (47-50 National, 59-47 B1G) Looks like I was really wrong about Texas and Alabama. The Longhorns didn’t put up much of a fight at Georgia, while the Crimson Tide kept shooting themselves in the foot against Oklahoma. Other than that, it was a pretty […]
