Prediction

The Wolverines are undefeated and rank #1 in defense in the nation while the offense has been outstanding as well but this team had an easy schedule in my opinion and this will be the first really tough team they'll face, although they beat the Buckeyes last season with CJ Stroud as a quarterback. However, Ohio State is #2 in offense in the country and have been insane at home. Michigan has the best rushing attack in college football but Ohio State has one of the nation's finest defenses when it comes to allowing lengthy rushing plays from scrimmage so that will make the difference this time. The Buckeyes are also 9-0 at home vs Michigan so I'm going with Ohio State.

PICK: Ohio State -8 (-110)
