That didn’t take long — and perhaps the Buckeyes aren’t as impermeable as once thought. At least that’s the prevailing thought in Las Vegas.
After WagerTalk announced the opening line for Michigan’s upcoming tilt with arch-rival Ohio State at 9.5 favoring OSU, that line is already coming down a bit.
According to BetMGM, that line has fallen by a point, with Ohio State still being favored by more than one score, but it’s now less than a touchdown and a safety, with the line down to 8.5 points.

Michigan has come on strong as of late, with the offense clicking halfway through the middle game of the season, at Penn State. Since, the Wolverines have destroyed every team in its path, including against rival Notre Dame — which was favored in Ann Arbor — in-state rival MSU and even Indiana, who was a 9.5-point underdog going into that game (Michigan beat the Hoosiers by 25).
Can Michigan pull off the upset? It’s still a very tall task, and one we’re still not likely to predict at this juncture. But The Game certainly has more intrigue now than it would have had back in September/early-October.
