Michigan vs. Ohio State Betting in “The Game” Saturday Odds

Michigan Wolverines vs. Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA Football Betting and Picks

Will he or won’t he?  That is the College football betting question regarding Jim Harbaugh’s future.  Michigan’s coach is said to be interested in an NFL Return.  On the whole, Harbaugh is in the midst of his worst season as Wolverines coach.  Michigan has declined so rapidly that many fans are eager for their former hero to leave.  Consider that Harbaugh arrived as the savior of the program in 2015.  His first two years fed into that.  But since the epic 2016 loss at Ohio State things have never been the same.  Ohio State hosts Michigan on Saturday.

Michigan Wolverines at Ohio State Buckeyes CashBet Wagering Analysis

On this occasion football’s most famous sportsbook rivalry is a shell of itself.  Nobody could see the day OSU was 30-point chalk over UM.

Dazed and Very Blue

Last time out Michigan lost to Penn State 27-17 on November 28.  Michigan was a 1-point home dog.  Under the Betting on college football total of 56.5 paid too.  As a result, the Wolverines are 2-4 straight up, 1-5 against the spread, and 4-2 over the total.  Michigan ranks 75th in the nation for total offense.  And 65th nationally for scoring.  Defensively they’re 86th in the nation and 99th for points allowed.
