Ohio State vs. Michigan Prediction & Odds

Ohio State is favored to win at Michigan. Check out the detailed odds and prediction below:

Ohio State is the team to beat at Michigan. The Buckeyes are undefeated and putting up 37.9 points per game while allowing only 7.6 points per contest, the best mark in the country. Julian Sayin has been outstanding with 2,832 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, and Jeremiah Smith has been a true difference-maker with 69 catches for 902 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Michigan brings plenty of talent of its own. Jordan Marshall is back from a shoulder injury and Bryce Underwood leads the offense. Still, Ohio State’s defense looks nearly impenetrable. With the Buckeyes sitting as a 10-point favorite, they are the smart pick. The implied score of 28-17 reflects Ohio State’s statistical edge on both sides of the ball and feels realistic.

The question is whether Michigan can keep this close. The Wolverines have won four straight in the rivalry, but this year’s Ohio State team looks more polished and more physical. If Michigan establishes its run game early, it might keep this within one score entering the fourth quarter. Ohio State is too strong, too fast and too well coached for Michigan to pull off the upset.

  • Pick ATS: Ohio State (-10)
