In the world of college football, there is no rivalry more iconic than Ohio State vs. Michigan, also known as The Game. This matchup has defined the Big Ten conference, with both teams having a long history of success and dominance. The stakes are always high when these two teams meet on the field, as it’s not just a football game but a way of life for the fans.
Michigan has won the last three meetings, marking the first time they have had a three-game win streak against Ohio State since the 1990s. A win this weekend would give them their first four-game winning streak since the late 1980s. On the other side, Ohio State coach Ryan Day is 1-3 against Michigan, with his only other loss coming earlier this season. A victory for Ohio State would send them to the Big Ten Championship Game, giving them a chance to redeem their loss to Oregon earlier in the season.
Sports betting odds favor Ohio State to win, with a prediction of a blowout victory. The history and intensity of this rivalry make it hard to imagine anything but a close game, but Michigan’s offensive struggles this season may work in Ohio State’s favor. Ultimately, the outcome of The Game will have a significant impact on the rest of the season for both teams. Fans can catch all the action live on Fox, with kickoff set for noon ET.
