Both teams were playing a lot of of overs to start the season. Now that Big Ten play has been kicking into high gear, that's been changing. Today's total is still set quite high though. Too high.

Michigan's last game was a 64-57 loss. It marked the third straight Michigan game which went to the under.

Off a 71-60 loss to Wisconsin, Ohio State comes off consecutive games which went to the under. The Buckeyes are 3-1 to the under the last 4 times that they were road favorites of 3 or less. Both teams are badly in need of a win and they will battle on the defensive end. Go with the Under.
