The Buckeyes roll in with 2 straight blowout wins over Michigan State and Minnesota by a combined score of 75-6. The Buckeyes covered in both of those routs while going 5-1-1 ATS across the past 7 games overall. The Under has cashed in 2 straight, and 7 of the past 8 contests overall.
The Wolverines survived at Maryland last week, hanging on for a 31-24 win, but they never threatened to cover as 17.5-point favorites as the Over (51.5) cashed. Michigan is still 5-2 ATS across the past 7 games, while the Over is 5-1-1 during the span.
Michigan will again be without coach Jim Harbaugh, who was suspended by the Big Ten due to the sign-stealing scandal. Linebackers coach Chris Partridge was also fired last week due to evidence of tampering in the NCAA investigation.
