It’s rivalry week in College Football and there are several matchups that impact the CFB playoff picture, including The Game at the Big House in Ann Arbor on Saturday afternoon. Here are BetPrep’s key trends for the biggest matchups in Week 12.

No. 2 Ohio State (-8) at No. 5 Michigan

12:00 p.m. ET (O/U: 64.5)

Ohio State has absolutely dominated this matchup, winning each of the last eight meetings and 15 of the last 16 overall. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has yet to beat the Buckeyes, dropping all five games with OSU while losing by an average margin of 19 points.

The Buckeyes have scored 50 points in a game six times this season, which is tied for the most by a Big Ten team in the AP Poll Era according to ESPN Stats & Informational Group. They’ve also scored 118 points in their last two games against the Wolverines, which is the most points allowed by Michigan over a two-game span against any single opponent.

As you would imagine, OSU has also dominated this game from a betting standpoint, covering in nine of the last 13 meetings between the two schools and posting a 6-2 ATS record in its last eight games in Ann Arbor.
