Ohio State last played on Wednesday, failing to cover as a 2.5-point home favorite in a 71-60 loss vs. Wisconsin — the Buckeyes’ 2nd straight setback. They’re 0-3 against the spread (ATS) and 1-2 straight up (SU) in their last 3 games.
Michigan has lost 5 straight games SU and 6 in a row ATS. The Wolverines last played Thursday, falling at Maryland 64-57 as +6 underdogs.
