Michigan will cover the spread
Urban Meyer predicted that Ohio State would win but that Michigan would cover the spread. I don't think that's super bold or crazy.
Winning this game isn't easy. Ryan Day and company have a lot of pressure on their shoulders and the more success Michigan football has early in this game, the more it will start to build.
There have been big upsets before on both sides of the rivalry. Michigan would need a 1996-style upset to beat Ohio State and they would need something similar to the 13-9 win.
This team isn't as talented, especially if Colston Loveland and Will Johnson are both out. Davis Warren isn't Brian Griese but he has been playing his best football. Dominic Zvada is a weapon at kicker and he'll make multiple field goals.
Michigan will hang around but Will Howard's legs and Jeremiah Smith prove to be the difference. The talent gap will be too large to overcome.
Prediction: Ohio State 27, Michigan 16
