At the beginning of the college football season, Michigan found itself ranked among the top 15 teams but also as 10-point underdogs to Ohio State several weeks out from The Game. Shortly into the schedule, the Wolverines became 17.5-point underdogs following their loss to Texas in early September. Now, nearly a full regular season and no NOA response later, the Wolverines sit barely within bowl eligibility on the doorstep of a .500 record and see themselves as three-touchdown underdogs to the Buckeyes ahead of next weekend.
After floating out to as wide as 23.5-point favorites at FanDuel last week, that sportsbook in particular has since adjusted its spread to favor the Buckeyes by 20.
