Michigan at Ohio State picks and predictions
Prediction
Ohio State 77, Michigan 65
Moneyline
PASS.
Ohio State (-690) should come away with the win, especially since I don’t see a team as bad as this Michigan squad sweeping the Buckeyes this season. Ohio State is not worth the risk of betting on as such a heavy favorite. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN OHIO STATE -10.5 (-120).
Ohio State has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games. The Buckeyes have covered the spread in each of their last 4 wins vs. Michigan, so if you like them to win, you should also back them to cover ATS.
This is only a lean because the Wolverines have been good ATS in recent matchups vs. Ohio State.
