I am a Michigan fan but we have had a horrible year so I went with the Bucks at over ten.

I’m a Buckeye fan so I picked Ohio State to win by more than ten points. And even if Michigan was having a good year, they can not beat OSU :)

Michigan has nothing to lose. They will bring it all. Beating the Bucknuts makes their season. Pryor is not that good and Beanie is the most over-rated rusher in the last 10 years. It keeps coming back to OSU vs. 2 good teams this year, results - no TD’s and 2 big loses. OSU is just a big fish in little Big Ten pond. GO UC !!!!

OSU will bring the game that the nation has been waiting for. Pryor is too upset over the PSU game to screw up, oh and uh Beanie 200+ last year vs Team up north… I’m Looking for a repeat of those yards. 35-14 OSU

The smart and safe bet this year is Ohio State. But don’t forget that this IS a rivalry game. There have been so many years where the team that wasn’t supposed to win, actually won. If I were Ohio State I would not be too cocky..wait that’s impossible for the thugs they got on their team. Regardless who wins the game, the 19 point spread is too big. I’m taking Michigan with the spread.

Obviously Fredo does not watch any football…Beanie is overrated and Pryor is not any good? Beanie is a beast and Pryor is still 18!

Ohio State is going kill Michigan. They wont be able to stop Pryor and Beanie. Its definately not going to be a close game.

By seriously?

I can’t believe there are still fools who say Beanie is overrated. My God, you couldn’t be more wrong. He can leap over defenders with the best backs in the country, he can find the holes and has a stiff arm that is absolutely impossible to beat. He hasn’t played healthy yet and he still racks up 150 a game in an offense still growing behind a poor offensive line and a true freshman quarterback. Open your eyes and look at the facts. He missed 3 games and is still over 1000 yards rushing. Good Lord, look what he did to Michigan last year. Could be a lot worse this year. However, even with our offense improving behind Pryor, the large spread, the 4 year win streak and the fact that Michigan has been completely horrible all year, it sets the stage for what could be a huge upset. I certainly hope not, but that’s how sports work sometimes. Regardless, I still say, GO BUCKS! O-H!

Fredo, “2 big loses”? Really?? It’s called spell check, look into it. If you don’t know how to spell losses, ask the fellas up North, they can definitely tell you how to spell it.

I know in the past there have been upsets but I believe OSU has this one!! With Beanie and Pryor and the rest of the team I have faith in them all! So to all the non-believers just move on out of the Buckeye State!!! We don’t want ya here!! I-O (back to Seriously?) :)

You’re all nuts. From someone not a fan of either let me tell you what’s up. First, Beanie’s a good back and Pryor has potential. He’s not yet Vince Young circa 2005 but maybe in time. Michigan with its 8 losses has no chance against the strong def of OSU. If they can’t put it together against the jerk-off teams, they can’t do it now. And just because it’s a rivalry doesn’t help. ND v Mich is a rivalry and they let crappy ND kick them back to Ann Arbor. ND won’t have a chance in their rivalry in a week either. Go Irish! OSU 31 Mich 17

Hey Fredo- you might want to take a look at Michigan’s record. I’ll take two losses in big games to any of the 8 losses by Michigan. I heard the game might be cancelled……….Michigam can’t get past Toledo! GO BUCKS OSU 35 Mich 3

OSU does not have that killer instinct. They always play to the other teams level. Thus the game will be close

Penske- Really?.. The buckeyes don’t play to the other team’s level. Maybe when Boekman was QB, but ever since Pryor has taken over they have destroyed weaker competition. Like Michigan State for example, but i guess if you consider beating a team by 35+ points “playing to their level” you have a point, but everyone i know calls it a blowout

First off, this rivalry is dead,osu has dominated, michigan isn’t even going to a bowl game, so whoever said the whole nation is waiting for this better get over himself. That being said osu is a good big ten team, they get all the recruits and tressel does know how to coach against teams that play like he does, but when he ventures outside of his comfort zone he chokes, the game against miami that went 3 ot’s was luck and a bad call by the refs, lou holtz at S.C. whipped him twice even with coops recruits, and the last two years? How embarrasing.
