Michigan is first in the big ten in total team defense and scoring defense(according to the B1G website).  Yes Northwestern shredded us, but they got owned by Mattison in overtime.  That was simply brilliant playcalling.  34-24 Michigan

One line in Vegas has Ohio State favored by -4 with the O/U at 55 points, which is more or less in line now with what Massey's site is predicting with 31-27 score with a predicted 39% win probability. The Sagarin ratings would even go with about 4 points in favor of Ohio State.

That being said, I like our chances, I really do - the Buckeye defense is very beatable, particularly in the air, and that have shown as much this season despite somehow not losing. You can make their secondary bite on the wrong coverage, leaving receivers open. With the passing game under Devin coupled with Denard, we can definitely get some big plays on their defense. The key for us on defense will be trying to stop their base run game and stop Miller from getting to the edge or escaping from coverage on blitzes, I think. If we can stunt his game, we bog down the Buckeye offense significantly. 

Michigan and the under is not out of the realm of possibilities if we can slow down the run - 28-24

My heart says Michigan, my gut and head say Ohio.

I think we're a little too excited about the new offensive look, without considering who we played.  The 28-17 Ohio prediction sounds about right.

And before you  neg me too  badly, stop and consider my prediction may be helpful - I'm awful at this stuff.

Joe Bolden knocks Miller out in the 2nd qtr. We Penn State '97em and roll 27-10 and Meyer and the Shitty Horseshoe is half full at the end of the game! Go Blue!
