Ohio State vs. Michigan Buckeyes Wire predictions

It’s that time of the week again, but this one is much bigger. Every week, the day or so before the next Ohio State football game, we have our writers provide a score prediction and short commentary on who will win between the Buckeyes and opponents.

Of course, the contest this week is against Michigan, and both sides would love to win this matchup, not only because of the fact that it’s one of the best rivalries in all of sports, but because of all that’s been swirling around this year with the sign-stealing allegations and rumors out there between both programs.

But enough about all of the buildup, there’s been plenty of that from us and other sites out there. We’re here to provide score predictions and some rationale for why each of our five writers believe things will play out as we predict with all the Big Ten and College Football Playoff implications on the line.

I’ll get us rolling, then our other four writers will fall in line and probably disagree with me on this one.

I hope Ohio State can play free and loose and let it all hang out, but with all of the penalties and mistakes last year, it showed us that this coaching staff and players can be a little too uptight in this one. It’ll be a close one, but I unfortunately…
