It’s ‘The Game’ week with Michigan scheduled to play rival Ohio State on Saturday in Columbus (noon, Fox) and Tony and Rainer break it all down with a game preview. The Wolverines have won three games in a row in the series and not only seemingly hold a clear psychological advantage, but know their path to victory after winning the battle on the ground each of the past three seasons. That said, there’s no doubt the Buckeyes are heavy favorites (Vegas says 20.5 points) behind an offense that is No. 10 in America and the No. 1 scoring and total defense. The Buckeyes spent $20 million this offseason in roster retention and acquisition, in large part because when they take the field Saturday it will have been five years to the day since they won the rivalry game. The fellas touch on Colston Loveland’s importance to U-M’s offense, the major improvements the defense has made and if those are enough reasons to believe Michigan can pull off its biggest upset (by the point spread) since they’ve been kept consistently beginning in 1969. That year, Michigan beat OSU as a 17-point underdog.
Tony and Rainer finish up the show picking five games including the Iron Bowl, Michigan State’s matchup with Rutgers for bowl eligibility and of course, The Game.
