Ohio State vs. Michigan Buckeyes Wire staff predictions

Our writers (and one from across the field) take turns predicting the score and outcome of the massive matchup between Ohio State and Michigan Saturday. #TheGame

We’re about to witness one of the most anticipated Ohio State vs. Michigan football games in the history of the greatest rivalry in all of sports. That alone makes Saturday an epic showdown between the No. 2 and No. 3 team in the College Football Playoff rankings. A win punches a ticket to the four-team playoff for one of the two bluebloods.

There are a ton of layers to peel back in this one with injury notes, offseason talking, the revenge factor from last season for the Buckeyes, and so much more. In fact, there’s so much, we’ve been cranking out the content and will continue to do so to get you ready for a truly historic matchup colored scarlet and gray with a little maize and blue sprinkled in.

One of the things we like to do every week is ask our writers to predict the outcome of the Ohio State game coming to a television, stadium, or streaming device near you that weekend, and you can bet we’re not going to skip out on this one.

Here is how Phil, Mark and Josh see the massive clash between Ohio State and Michigan shaking out on Saturday. We even add in a prediction from behind enemy lines with Wolverines Wire’s Trent Knoop to balance things out.
