Newsstand: Line officially set for Michigan football vs. Ohio State
Michigan football’s odds in the Week 13 showdown against Ohio State started to leak on Saturday. Now, we have official word as to how Vegas sees the massive showdown.
According to opening lines released on Sunday afternoon, Ohio State is an 8-point favorite over the Wolverines in the de facto Big Ten East championship game in Ann Arbor. The over/under for total points scored has been set at 64.
The scenarios are fairly simple on Saturday. A win for either team puts them in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game the following week. A loss would seemingly put the other in the driver’s seat for the Rose Bowl, assuming the East champion wins in Indy.
Saturday’s game from Ann Arbor kicks off at 12 p.m. ET and will be broadcast via FOX’s Big Noon Saturday coverage. ESPN’s College GameDay will also be in attendance for pregame festivities live from Michigan’s campus.
