Ohio State football fans have waited all year for this. They have wanted revenge on TTUN for what has happened in each of the last three seasons. The Ohio State Buckeyes have a chance to win The Game and advance to the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 2019.

The Buckeyes are already in the College Football Playoff, regardless of what happens in this game. That's not what they're after in this game. They are after a pair of gold pants that none of the seniors have ever had. This senior class does not want to leave Ohio State without having a win over TTUN.

We've talked all week about the fact that this is the worst Michigan team Ryan Day has ever faced. This is the best chance he will ever have to beat them, including when he did beat them in 2019. With everything on the line, Vegas has lowered what it thinks the Buckeyes are going to be able to do in this game.

According to DraftKings, Ohio State is a 19.5-point favorite. That line has gone down from 21, which is what it was to start the week. The over/under sits at 42. In order for the Buckeyes to win this game, Will Howard needs to be at his best, which he has been in the last few games.

I don't see any way in which TTUN is able to win this game. The Buckeyes have a more talented team, a better coaching staff, and the motivation to win is at an all-time high. Even though you throw all of that out in a rivalry game, Ohio State's defense will be relentless against Michigan's offense.

Expect Michigan to score on their first drive of the game, as most teams do against the Buckeyes. Once the scripted drive is over, Ohio State will lock them down. They should finally put an end to their long nightmare.
