Saturday will mark the 50th time that Ohio State and Michigan meet with both teams in the AP top 25 rankings, the most such games of any rivalry matchup in college football history.

Ohio State looks like the consensus favorite to be the No. 1 overall seed in the College Football Playoff with its undefeated record, uber-efficient offense, and overwhelming defense.

But one very prominent obstacle stands in the Buckeyes’ way en route to the postseason: their arch-nemesis.

Michigan has dominated The Game in recent years, winning the last four-straight meetings, including last season in Columbus when the Buckeyes were nearly three-touchdown favorites in one of college football’s most stunning results last fall.

Now comes the massively-anticipated rematch in the Big House, but it’s not just the Buckeyes’ playoff hopes that hang in the balance. Michigan has something to play for, too.

Hanging around the fringes of the playoff conversation, the Wolverines could jump right into the middle of the hunt if they can take down the Buckeyes again.

Who is favored?

Betting markets are siding very strongly with the Buckeyes over the Wolverines, by more than double digits.

Ohio State is an 11.5 point favorite against Michigan, according to the early game lines posted to FanDuel Sportsbook.

FanDuel lists the total at 44.5 points for the matchup, and set the moneyline odds for Ohio State at -465 and for Michigan at +350 to win outright.
