Ohio State is the No. 1 team in the country and deservedly so for the moment. Still, the Buckeyes have played one of the weakest Power Four schedules, without having to play Indiana in the regular season. They battered Rutgers 42-9 on Saturday, with 430 total offensive yards, while Michigan trounced Maryland 45-20. The Wolverines have won and covered in the past four meetings, including a 13-10 win last year as a 19.5-point underdog. Michigan is 13-6 ATS in its past 19 November games, and with an upset victory, it has an excellent chance to play in the Big Ten championship game and possibly earn a berth in the College Football Playoff. However, fans of both teams will tell you that beating their main rival is the most important thing, regardless of what happens afterward. Both teams will start freshmen quarterbacks, with Julian Sayin (redshirt) leading the country with a 79.4 completion rate. Bryce Underwood hasn't been quite as consistent, but he has been coming through in close games, and he went 16-for-23 for 215 yards and two TDs with no interceptions against Maryland. Ohio State is #1, allowing 7.64 points per game, but Michigan is #15, yielding only 17.9 points per game. The points loom large in this matchup. Take Michigan.
