Urban Meyer Has Not Just Been Good with His Ohio State Teams As Underdogs – He's Been Perfect

When No. 4 Michigan rolls into Ohio Stadium Saturday, they'll take the field as favorites – something they haven't been on the road for “The Game” since 2004.

Ohio State opened Sunday as 3½-point underdogs to the Wolverines and that line has settled in around 4½ points at most books.

Saturday's game will mark the first time in Urban Meyer's seven seasons in Columbus that his Buckeyes will take the field at Ohio Stadium as underdogs.

It's rare that Meyer's Buckeyes are underdogs anywhere, for that matter. His Ohio State teams have entered games as dogs just six times, the last coming in 2015.
