Top 10 College Football Rivalry Week picks against the spread
1. Ohio State (-7.5) at Michigan Saturday 12 PM EST, Fox
Rivalry Week wouldn’t be complete without Michigan and Ohio State. It’s one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports and having a top-5 matchup between the two programs is perfect.
Ohio State has owned the rivalry though and Michigan hasn’t won “The Game” since 2011. C.J. Stroud has been incredible this season and after dismantling the Michigan State defense, he became a Heisman frontrunner.
The second-ranked Buckeyes and fifth-ranked Wolverines each need two wins to claim the Big Ten title and reach the playoff. There is no need for outside help.
Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo are two of the best pass rushers in the country and Michigan’s defense is probably the best Ohio State has faced all season.
Jim Harbaugh has done an outstanding job this season for Michigan and the Wolverines will battle Saturday, giving themselves a chance to win in the fourth quarter.
But Ohio State is too good and will get the win, although U-M will cover — barely.
