50 years ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes were touted as one of the greatest teams of all time and headed for a certain national championship. OSU was a prohibitive favorite with the CFB Odds as they headed to the Big House to face the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan was given no chance in the matchup. Sound Familiar? Well, it should, as a half a century later the same scenario is set for Saturday. In that 1969 classic the Wolverines scored what announcer Bill Fleming described on the ABC TV broadcast as “The Upset of the Century.” Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes always said that 1969 team was his best ever. Now OSU head coach Ryan Day brings his powerhouse Bucks to Ann Arbor as the favorite to win the national championship. But will the Scarlet and Grey get out alive?

Ohio State Buckeyes Vs. Michigan Wolverines Odds Analysis
Ohio State will command plenty of action with the CFB Odds as a juggernaut of a team that seems to be steamrolling to the Natty. But Michigan will haul in dollars due to a month of strong play and the belief that they are a live and dangerous home dog.

Michigan is 9-2 straight up, 7-4 vs. the odds and 8-3 on totals after last week’s 39-14 win at a highly respected Indiana team as 10-point chalks. Michigan has come away with the cash in five straight games.
