It didn’t take long for the opening Vegas betting line to come out for The Game, and it isn’t looking favorable for the Wolverines.
The Ohio State Buckeyes opened as 13-point favorites for next weekend’s game at The Big House against the 8-3 Michigan Wolverines. The betting line was released on VegasInsider.com.
This sounds about right to me. I figured it would be around a 2-touchdown point-spread in favor of Ohio State. With the way the Buckeyes have been putting up points, and the way Michigan...hasn’t, this seems like a reasonable spread to me.
The over/under has not been released yet, but I assume it will be much higher than last weekend’s over/under of 39 points.
Now it’s your turn! Sound off on our poll below and weigh in down in the comments section on why you think, or don’t think, Michigan *would cover that spread.
*(I use the word “would” because the spread is likely to fluctuate throughout the week.)
