Ohio St -2 1/2 @ Michigan POTW#12
 

Jump on this as fast as you can. I normally stay away from rivalry games, but there is just too much value here for me to not be riding this line quite a bit. My POTW #12 is Ohio State - 2 1/2 @ Michigan

Michigan has been successful this year only when they can establish the run. That will not happen against the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes are giving up 277 ypg, 198 pass & 79 run. I just don't see Michigan getting more than 2 scores.

Of course, Ohio State's offense is no gem, but it is balanced averaging ~200 ypg both rushing and passing. Michigan has given up 17 or more to every half-way decent team on their schedule.

I see a 20-10 final...over a touchdown more than the line.

the only lingering doubt I have is replaying that Michigan/Penn State game from earlier this year.

My POTW #12 is Ohio State -2 1/2 @ Michigan


FYI-I'm 18-7 NCAA ytd on my recommendations to 2+2
I'm 7-4 ytd on POTW
I will be riding Northwestern -14 @ Illinois also

maybe a few others too, but I'm jumping on these two lines before they change

I wouldn't touch any OSU/UM game with a 20 foot pole.

i got money on michigan +3 purely for rooting interest

plus ive seen plenty of osu seasons ruined by UM in my day, in fact it happens almost every year

As a student at UofM, let me be the first to say that I will be the cheering as hard as I can in hopes that you lose your money.

OSU -2.5, eh?

Observe!

I am amazing.

Re: Ohio St -2 1/2 @ Michigan POTW#12
 

BTW-tOSU 37 Michigan 21 last year
one team has gotten better, the other worse.

Re: Ohio St -2 1/2 @ Michigan POTW#12
 

That game was @ OSU and this one is @ UM. I'm a huge OSU fan but I think OSU will be lucky to win this game. Another underlying factor is that if UM loses this game, I think Carr gets fired. Think UM will play hard for him? Look at the '96 game, the '01 game, and the '04 game for what has happened when one team is "way better"

Re: Ohio St -2 1/2 @ Michigan POTW#12
 

ahhh...yes, but Carr is still coaching in this game and he is, by far, the worst coach in the league. That's the tangible.

BTW-I don't buy college kids playing hard for Caoch Carr.

Did those UW kids play harder for Barry's last home game?
