Michigan and Ohio State Prepare for Heated Rivalry Game

Ohio State seeks revenge after three consecutive losses, while Michigan faces long odds in this year’s matchup.

Michigan enters the game as a 23.5-point underdog, the largest in its recorded history against Ohio State, reflecting the disparity in team performance this season.
Ohio State, with a 10-1 record, is vying for a spot in the Big Ten Championship and remains in contention for the national title, raising the stakes for this matchup.
Michigan, at 6-5, has struggled offensively this season, ranking 107th in scoring and lacking a significant passing threat, but aims to replicate past success through its physical rushing attack.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has emphasized the emotional significance of the rivalry, describing past losses to Michigan as among the hardest moments of his life and motivating his team to prevent a fourth straight defeat.
Michigan’s recent improvements in its ground game and offensive line execution offer a glimmer of hope, but analysts and fans largely view an upset as unlikely.
