Surprised this wasn’t a thread yet. Who wins and why?

I’ll go Michigan 34-31. This is a game on my bucket list.

I don’t think even the most diehard Ohio State fan would try to sell you on the fact that Michigan isn’t a better team right. But for the first time in a long time, all of the pressure is on Michigan.

Nothing in this game would surprise me. A Michigan blowout, an Ohio State blowout, a really close game, hell freezing over. I legitimately have zero clue what is going to happen this weekend.

Michigan's the better team, but that doesn't really mean anything with the game being at Ohio State.

 

Who knows, but Go Blue!

Ohio State will win something like 48 to 41. Even when they've looked horrible they've put up 600 or 700 yards of offense, Ohio State rolls and may win by a couple of scores.

 

Pressure is on both schools as the season is over for the loser, both have hopes of making the playoffs and know they must win this game.

80% chance of rain Saturday, who does that favor?

I agree with everything said so far. I think Michigan is definitely the better team right now but anything can happen. OSU will be able to put up some points but I think Michigan is the best defense they’ve seen all year. Also I think the winner will get the 4th playoff spot this season.

Michigan IMO. They have the best defense in the country.

4th in defensive efficiency...but point taken, they are pretty good.

1st in total defense.

Michigan 20-17.

Well I said in the Notre Dame/Michigan thread right after Notre Dame won, that Michigan would beat OSU this year. Zero reason for me to change my opinion now. Especially since me and @Johnanthony have a friendly avatar bet on it since way back at the beginning of the season when I stated that.

 

This game can go either way, but I bet JA you don't feel as confident now as you did when we originally made our bet lol.

Michigan 100%.

From what I've seen of the 2 teams (admittedly not a whole lot), Michigan appears to be the tougher team especially on defense. OSU has shown the ability to win close games late but I think the Wolverines will win.
