I am from Michigan but I absolutely despise both these teams. Seriously hope there is a locust-related 0-0 tie. Do I think Ohio State wins? I do and if this moneyline was a little more reasonable I would go that route. But Blake Corum will play and OSU has had trouble stopping the run. No TreVeyon Henderson or Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the Nuts. Two of the best in the nation at their positions (RB and WR, although JSN has barely played this year). I dunno, I just have to pick this game but I think Ohio State by a TD. I'll be rooting big for whichever opponent in the Big Ten title game (and already will take the points).

Even if Blake Corum plays, how healthy can he be? Michigan needs him to be vintage Blake to have any shot at knocking off Ohio State. I think the Buckeyes can slow the Wolverines' ailing offense. Meanwhile I like the Michigan defense, which leads the country in yards allowed per play (4.11), to hold its own against the Buckeyes offense. This total seems to be a tad high.

The Buckeyes have revenge on their minds, a dynamic offense and a defense that can shut down the run on third-and-short situations ... exactly where Michigan thrives. The Buckeyes are 4-2-1 against the spread at home this season, and will force this game into a shootout. In that case, the Wolverines and quarterback JJ McCarthy won't be able to catch up. Don't get scared away by the hook. Even if this one is close, the Buckeyes will pull away late for a double-digit win.
