One oddsmaker has already set the spread for Ohio State-Michigan
Published:
Battling the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions and Indiana Hoosiers, respectively, on Saturday, the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 13 Michigan Wolverines each have one more piece of business to tend to before their meeting in Ann Arbor on November 30.
This, however, has not stopped the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook from already releasing their line for the game.

Understandably, the book lists the Buckeyes as 13-point favorites.
Fielding both the nation’s top scoring offense and defense, Ohio State has outscored their opposition by an average of 51.5-9.8.
In what many people – this reporter included – consider the best rivalry in college football, the Buckeyes and Wolverines have met 114 times dating back to 1897.
Michigan holds the all-time lead in the series, 58-50-6, but Ohio State has won 14 of the last 15 clashes.
Riding Dwayne Haskins’ six touchdown passes, the Buckeyes routed the Wolverines, 62-39, last November in Columbus. Having since established himself as one of the B1G’s best wideouts, sophomore Chris Olave first burst onto the scene in the game, catching two of Haskins’ scores.
Transitioning back to Saturday, Ohio State’s tilt with Penn State will kick at 12:00PM ET on FOX. Michigan’s battle with Indiana in Bloomington will air on ESPN at 3:30PM ET.
