Michigan has lost to Ohio State each of the last six seasons but heads into this year’s game as a four-point favorite.
Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) has looked more vulnerable than its record suggests, as the Buckeyes got trounced 49-20 by Purdue last month and eked out a 52-51 overtime victory over Maryland last week. Michigan (10-1, 8-0) has won 10 straight since a season-opening 24-17 loss at Notre Dame.
Michigan leads all Football Bowl Subdivision teams in total defense, while Ohio State ranks second in total offense.
