College Football Betting Odds Week 13: Picks Against the Spread for Top 25 Schedule

- G Fiume/ Michigan bullied Ohio State in the trenches in the last two head-to-head meetings. The Wolverines ran for 252 yards in last season's 45-23 victory and forced a pair of turnovers out of the Buckeyes. Ohio State had no answer for the rushing attack, which did not have Blake Corum at full strength, an advantage Michigan contains on Saturday. Corum has been the star of the Michigan ground game during its rise to prominence as a playoff contender and could be in for his first massive showing against Ohio State. Donovan Edwards ran for 216 yards and two scores on 22 carries last season. J.J. McCarthy is also one year wiser in the quarterback battle, and that could help Michigan move the ball in key situations compared to first-year Ohio State starter Kyle McCord making his debut in the rivalry Ohio State has the best player in the matchup in wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., but there is a way for Michigan to slow him down. The Wolverines can put an abundance of pressure on McCord and force him into bad throws or turnovers, and they can commit an extra man to defending Harrison when the OSU quarterback has time in the pocket. Michigan can also defend Harrison by keeping the ball in its offense's hands. The Wolverines can methodically move the ball down the field with Corum, Edwards and Co. to take a ton of time off the clock. The Wolverines may be the lower-ranked side in the matchup, but until Ohio State proves it has an answer for their rushing attack, they are the rightful favorite.
