The #3 Michigan Wolverines (11-0, 6-4-1, ATS, 3-8 O/U) collide with the #2 Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0, 5-5-1 ATS, 8-3 O/U) in a battle for the top spot in the Big Ten East on Saturday afternoon. The winner of this game will play in the Big Ten championship game.

The Wolverines escaped the upset with a home win against Illinois last week. The Buckeyes defeated Maryland to stay undefeated. Last year it was Michigan registering a dominating 42-27 home win against Ohio State. Michigan leads the all-time series 59-51-6.

The Michigan Wolverines enter the regular season finale with an undefeated record. Many of the wins this season have been by large margins. Six of their 10 Big Ten victories have been by double digits highlighted by a 41-17 win against Penn State. Last week’s bout was their closest game of the season. Michigan was labeled huge 17-point favorites in a narrow 19-17 home win against Illinois. The Wolverines have covered the spread in two of their three conference road games this season.

Michigan runs more than a majority of squads and J.J. McCarthy doesn’t light up the scoreboard as a result. The sophomore QB has reached the 300-passing yard mark once all season in the win against Indiana. McCarthy has amassed 1952 passing yards and a 14:2 TD to INT ratio.

Wolverines’ #1 RB Blake Corum injured his knee last week and is questionable. The junior RB is ha ving a dominant season, collecting at least 100 yards in eight consecutive games, and has accumulated 1457 rushing yards on 5.9 yards per carry. If Corum does not play Donovan Edwards (471 yards) or C.J. Stokes (268 yards) will see plenty of action.

Michigan has one receiver with at least 500 yards in Ronnie Bell. The senior WR has made nine catches in his last three games and has logged 641 receiving yards. The Michigan offense has registered at least 30 points in all but three games and last week’s 19-point output was its lowest of the season.

The Wolverines stifling defense makes them a legit national championship contender. They have limited their opponent to 17 or fewer points in seven of their eight conference games and rank #1 in the fewest yards allowed per game. The unit allowed 326 total yards against Illinois last week. They rank fifth against the pass and second against the run. Michigan is scoring an average of 39.4 points, landing them ninth in the country. They are limiting foes to only 11.7 points, good for second in the FBS.
