Michigan football opens as a 4-point favorite at Ohio State

If the opening line holds, Michigan will enter Ohio Stadium on Saturday as a favorite for the first time since 2004.

The fourth-ranked Wolverines (10-1, 8-0) opened up as a 4-point road favorite at No. 10 Ohio State (10-1, 7-1), according to the Westgate Superbook on Sunday.

Michigan visits Ohio State at noon Saturday. Michigan beat Indiana, 31-20, on Saturday for its 10th straight win. The Buckeyes notched their 10th win overall by way of a 52-51 overtime win at Maryland.

The winner of "The Game" will be declared the Big Ten East winner and represent the division in the Big Ten championship game against Northwestern on Dec. 1 in Indianapolis.

Michigan has not won in Columbus since 2000, dropping eight straight road games in the series. The Wolverines have lost six straight overall and 13 of their last 14 in the rivalry.
