This is a BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE on Indiana.

It all comes down to this!

Indiana enters at 12-0, while Ohio State enters are 12-0 as well.

Two teams enter, one team leaves undefeated. Everything is on the line here for these two Schools, but only one can advance.

I see this game coming down to whichever team has its hands on the ball last, though, and because of that, I'm grabbing the points.

Indiana closed out the season with a 56-3 win at Purdue, going on to easily cover the 28-point spread, while Ohio State got past Michigan by a score of 27-9 as a 9-point fav.

These teams haven't played since last season, but in that game Ohio State won here by a score of 38-15 as a 10.5-point favorite.

The Hoosiers' game-plan today will be simple; push the ball and score some points! Indiana enters averaging 48.4 points per game, which ranks No. 1 in the country.

But not to be outdone, the Hoosiers defense is only conceding 11.9, which ranks second.

Ohio State's numbers are almost as impressive, as the Buckeyes average 40.4 points per game, which ranks 11th, while allowing only 8.5, which ranks first.

We have the nation's best offense, going up against the country's No. 1 defense.

But neither is a slouch on the other side of the ball either, obviously.

Julian Sayin has been fantastic for Ohio State, and if the Buckeyes win today, he's going to play a big part.

But, Fernando Mendoza is a true dual-threat QB for Indiana, and I believe he'll match Sayin throughout.

Indiana has a big opportunity here to change the narrative in the conference, and while I do think the outright win is the most likely outcome for the HOOSIERS, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can.

Good luck, NP

This is a SEC CHAMPIONSHIP TOTAL on the OVER Georgia/Alabama.

Georgia enters the SEC Championship Game at 11-1, while Alabama is 10-2. The Bulldogs were 3-0 SU on the road and 2-0-1 ATS, while the Tide was 6-1 SU and ATS at home.

These teams played against each other on September 27th of this season, and Alabama walked away with a 24-21 upset outright road win as a 2.5-point underdog.

Now here we are just over two months later at Alabama, but the Tide are once again 2.5-point underdogs.

Alabama may or may not go on to win outright once again on Saturday, but what I do fully expect is that this will once again be a competitive, but much higher-scoring affair this time around.

While the first matchup was dominated by these fantastic defenses, I'm predicting the rematch to have a much faster overall pace to it, which will in turn lead to a lot more scoring.

Georgia enters averaging 35.2 points per game, which is ranked 35th in the country, while allowing only 18.2, which is ranked 12th.

Alabama, on the other hand, averages 36.3 points per game, which ranks 25th, while allowing only 18, which ranks 11th.

Both teams are coming off big wins over bitter rivals last weekend to a clinch a spot in the Championship Game and with so much on the line, clearly both sides will be feeling confident.

We have two of the most dynamic quarterback in the country going head-to-head in this one in Ty Simpson and Gunner Stockton and I expect them to take "center stage" so to speak in this one.

This number is a bit low in my opinion, so the play is on the OVER.

Good luck, NP
