Ohio State vs Michigan head-to-head

Ohio State vs Michigan prediction
The winner of this game essentially locks themselves into the College Football Playoff while the loser could miss entirely, as they do not compete for the Big Ten Championship.
The Buckeyes are the better team, and getting more than a field goal feels like way too much, even with this game being in Ann Arbor. No Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines as well will loom large so go with the Buckeyes to win outright.
Prediction: Ohio State Buckeyes +3.5
