Michigan football game-by-game predictions for the 2024 season
Game 12: at Ohio State (Nov. 30)
Michigan football won in Columbus in 2022 for the first time since 2000. It took an incredible effort from the defense, Donovan Edwards, and J.J. McCarthy.
Ohio State has invested as much money as possible into beating Michigan. It also hired Chip Kelly to try and run the football with two stellar backs. Will Howard will be fine but if Ryan Day doesn't commit to the run, Ohio State won't beat Michigan.
The team that runs for more yards usually wins "The Game." If Chip Kelly is truly calling the plays, Ohio State will have a chance to win that battle and with an inexperienced quarterback starting for Michigan in Orji, Ohio State will find a way to end the losing streak to big, bad, Michigan.
Prediction: Ohio State 27, Michigan 20
However, since both teams entered "The Game" 11-0, there will be a rematch for the Big Ten championship in Indy. If that happens, I think it will be a tall task for the Buckeyes to beat Michigan two weeks in a row. So I'll end with that.
