Michigan vs. Ohio State Game Preview: How to watch, prediction and more

Michigan Football ends its regular season as it always does this week against the hated Ohio State Buckeyes as they try to reverse the norm in this rivalry and salvage what has otherwise been a roller coaster season.

Quarterback still remains up in the air in this contest with Brandon Peters questionable with a head injury after getting literally knocked out of the game against Wisconsin. Wilton Speight is not expected to be ready to go, so John O’Korn would get the start for Michigan.

That development alone has fans largely apathetic and preparing themselves for a blowout in this contest.

However, the old rivalry game cliche still applies here and we have seen strange things happen between these two teams in the past. Michigan’s defense gives them a chance to hang around and they may need to have their best effort of the season.

Do not be surprised if this is a close one heading into the second half, though I believe the Buckeyes will pull away and win this one without much drama.

A loss would drop the Wolverines to 1-5 in rivalry games under Jim Harbaugh.

Prediction: Ohio State 31, Michigan 20
