So much for Michigan playing the underdog card.
Ohio State's 17-14 loss to Michigan State and subsequent postgame turmoil - with players talking about leaving early for the NFL after the season - have the bettors leaning toward the Wolverines in "The Game" on Saturday.
The betting line for Saturday's Michigan vs. Ohio State game at Michigan Stadium (noon, ABC) opened at 8:30 a.m. today at two offshore books, 5Dimes and BetOnline.ag with the Buckeyes favored by two or 2 1/2 points.
Three hours later, the line flipped, with the Wolverines (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) favored by three over Ohio State (10-1, 6-1), coming off a snapped 23-game winning streak.
