The first lines of next weekend’s slate of college football games have been revealed, and BetOnline has established Ohio State as a 7-point favorite at home against Michigan.
The Buckeyes (10-1, 7-1) have won four in a row over the Wolverines (10-7, 7-1) and 13 of 15 this century.
OSU is coming off of a hard-fought 17-16 win over Michigan State this past weekend, while Michigan pulled away from Indiana 20-10 on Saturday.
The Wolverines were without starting quarterback Wilton Speight against the Hoosiers. Backup quarterback John O’Korn completed just 7-of-16 passes for 59 yards.
Speight is reportedly out for the season with a broken collarbone, but U of M head coach Jim Harbaugh continues to say that Speight is day-to-day.
Ohio State has been a favorite over Michigan three times under Urban Meyer and covered just once.
