Seems about right. Of course, no idea if the game is even going to happen so this feels a bit academic.
December 4th, 2020 at 10:15 AM ^
Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that A&M got dinged for only beating LSU by 13.
The playoff committee is looking at style points big time this year.
I know it is hyperbole to say OSU is going to score 100, but they will not call off the dogs. If the game gets played, you're looking at OSU scoring a minimum of 55-60.
I could easily see a 63-10 type of score.
Also, ESPNU radio was saying they earlier today that Fields is not one of the guys who will be out this week due to Covid, bc of course.
Also, get rid of Harbaugh now!

Even if OSU makes the playoff, they’ll get blown out by Bama or Clemson.
December 4th, 2020 at 10:38 PM ^
I call bullshit on 63-10.
You’re assuming Michigan can actually drive the length of the field To get a TD AND kick a field goal as well?!?!
Considering OSU needing to absolutely show off to get in the playoff, I could easily see 70-0 as a realistic score. 80+ points isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.
My god, there’s a messed up part of me that really wants to see this game happen.
December 4th, 2020 at 10:19 AM ^
I can’t wait for this game to be cancelled due to covid.
December 4th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
Will it be broadcast on ESPNU or the B1G webcast?
December 4th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
Seems low
December 4th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
take the over
December 4th, 2020 at 11:00 AM ^
Jokes on you OSU, the lack of any hope means it's impossible to crush our hopes this year. Playing 4D chess here.
December 4th, 2020 at 11:15 AM ^
It sickens me seeing all the comments that people aren't even going to watch. One day Michigan will beat Ohio State. It may happen when you least expect it. I will watch every down, every snap so that as much hatred and vitriol as possible can build up inside of me. That way, when they finally do win it will feel that much better. Just put your cups on, take it like a man and get back to it next year.

" I will watch every down, every snap so that as much hatred and vitriol as possible can build up inside of me."
Good luck.

There is currently an entire generation of mostly grown-up people living on this planet (the generation of people currently playing and being recruited to play CFB) that has never known any other reality aside from Michigan being OSU’s bitch.
if you don’t want people to be so apathetic, maybe the team/coaches should get up, act like they give a fuck, punch above their weight and beat them when you’re not expected to every once in a while, like underdogs in almost every other major rivalry in existence aside from Michigan-OSU do.
December 4th, 2020 at 6:06 PM ^
I've only been a Michigan fan since 2013. I can't wait for my first win.
December 4th, 2020 at 11:17 AM ^
Doesn't matter, just fucking play hard. JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FUCKING PLAY HARD! JUST FU...
December 4th, 2020 at 11:44 AM ^
You seem to be under the false impression that Michigan actually occasionally shows up, punches above its weight and manages to beat a heavily-favored rival every once in a while like MSU does against us, or like Auburn does against Alabama.
I have some sad news for you, my friend.
December 4th, 2020 at 9:23 PM ^
Nah, he just posts this shit when he skips a dose of his Ritalin.
December 4th, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
Take osu give the points. I’m hoping we cancel the game.
December 4th, 2020 at 12:11 PM ^
Sad.
Nothing but sad.
Like the proud but obsolete Yamato pointlessly going out to battle one last time to get mercilessly destroyed, for nothing but futile duty and honor.
December 4th, 2020 at 3:41 PM ^
Being hit by at least six bombs and eleven torpedoes, resulting in a magazine explosion and the loss of 3055 out of 3332 crew members, pretty much sums up Michigan football in the 21st Century.
December 4th, 2020 at 1:20 PM ^
BUT WAIT TIL WE OPEN UP THE PLAYBOOK
December 4th, 2020 at 5:24 PM ^
I forgot. That actually was my expectation some 2-3 years ago. Now it is just a faint memory of my foolish past. LIke, um, really, when the freak will Harbaugh open up the play book?
December 4th, 2020 at 5:26 PM ^
We already saw the playbook in all its glory, on both sides of the ball. This is what we are...a bad football team with little to pin our hopes on moving forward.
December 4th, 2020 at 1:21 PM ^
oh goody!
December 4th, 2020 at 1:33 PM ^
I, for one, will be shocked if our offense scores 72.5 against them.
December 4th, 2020 at 1:59 PM ^
Sounds about right. What's the line for the second half? /s...but probably not really /s.
December 4th, 2020 at 2:40 PM ^
I'll prob watch a bit if my kids don't have games because i'm a crazy person, but will assuredly fast forward or just not watch whatever opening montage they put out there calling this the best rivalry in sports. They should have stopped doing that a long time ago.
December 4th, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
I'll probably record it, check the final score, and then decide whether to watch or erase the recording. Given that a close loss and a blow-out loss to OSU are equally painful (I have LOTS of experience with both), the chances I'll be watching a Michigan upset are exceedingly small. But hey, I will have the option if this is the one in a million chance. (Like the People's Republic of China says, "he's one in a million; we have 1500 more just like him.")
December 4th, 2020 at 3:05 PM ^
That's it?
December 4th, 2020 at 3:19 PM ^
tHe GaMe
December 4th, 2020 at 4:04 PM ^
Remember back in 2010 (I think) when osu kept getting celebration penalties but they just didn't give a crap they were kicking our ass so bad? It was like silly...pure silliness. It looked like an exhibition game verse a high school team.
December 4th, 2020 at 4:07 PM ^
Is that the 1Q spread?
In all seriousness, THANKFULLY I live in a state where sports betting is legal. As soon as this game shows up in my sportsbook apps, I'm HAMMERING this.
December 4th, 2020 at 5:29 PM ^
Just a friendly reminder to the harbaugh defenders. This is year 6 and we are 27.5 point dogs to our biggest rival. This guy is a joke
December 4th, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
COVID has a line of +35 so it all evens out.
December 5th, 2020 at 4:54 AM ^
In this game, YABO!
