Michigan put up a fight against Wisconsin early but proved it is not at the same level as the Badgers, let alone the Buckeyes. The road loss to Iowa was surely a strange one for Ohio State, but it rebounded and immediately beat Michigan State 48-3 and Illinois 52-14 a week ago, resting starers late in both games. Style points are going to be needed if the two-loss Buckeyes want a spot in the College Football Playoff, and since they are unlikely to get them against the Badgers, this is a prime opportunity in a big spot against a rival.
Michigan has major quarterback questions, Ohio State's defense is fast and physical and Ohio State could use some style points if it wants to make the College Football Playoff. And this is less than a two-touchdown game? Nope. The Buckeye rushing attack -- including quarterback J.T. Barrett -- will have its way with the Wolverines, who won't break double digits against this Buckeye defense. Ohio State might cover by halftime.
