Oddsmakers: Michigan an Early Double-Digit Underdog vs. Ohio State
Top-ranked Ohio State is favored by 12.5 points despite injuries to key players Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, as coach Ryan Day aims to end a four-game losing streak to Michigan.
- This Saturday, top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes enter The Game in Ann Arbor as 12.5-point road favorites, kickoff at 12 p.m. Eastern on FOX.
- With injuries clouding the week, Ohio State faces questions as Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate are day-to-day; Smith missed only the Rutgers game while Tate hasn't played since Nov. 1.
- At issue is the rivalry's recent trend, as Ryan Day, Ohio State head coach, keeps routine practice plans and Tuesday media availability despite four straight losses to Michigan Wolverines.
- With Ohio State still seeking a spot in the Big Ten championship, a Michigan win — including on Nov. 29 — would significantly impact playoff hopes, while a loss would nearly eliminate them.
- With CFP rankings still more than two weeks away on Dec. 7, selection scenarios could leave multiple Big Ten teams with 10-plus wins fighting for at-large spots amid intense fan and program pressure.
