Ohio State football will play Michigan for the 121st time today, and there is both more and less on the line than in the previous matchups.

Rob Oller did a wonderful job describing how changes in the sport have turned the stakes of this rivalry inside out. Almost literally. The pressure is now internal, not external, because OSU is practically guaranteed a playoff spot at this point, but having lost four in a row to the Wolverines, there are a lot of Buckeyes who need a victory or else they will depart the program with no gold pants.

Besides the stakes, what do you need to know about the kickoff in Ann Arbor?

Ohio State vs Michigan predictions

Here is what our experts at The Columbus Dispatch think about today’s game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines. Plus, a pick by Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press.

  • Joey Kaufman: Ohio State 28, Michigan 17 | The recent years have shown Michigan to hold a psychological edge in the series. How else to explain last year’s inexplicable disaster for the Buckeyes? But even if the Buckeyes’ bitter rival poses a mental block to overcome this week, it’s too difficult to dismiss the obvious advantage at Ohio State. No one else in the nation has been as dominant on both sides of the ball this year, and while the Buckeyes might not be at full strength at wide receiver, they’ve been No. 1 for good reason. The losing streak ends in Ann Arbor.
  • Rob Oller: Michigan 21, Ohio State 17 | I’ve picked Ohio State each of the past four years, and how has that worked out for the Buckeyes? Conventional wisdom suggests the rivalry has to level at some point, and I agree, but Urban Meyer went 7-0 against the maize and blue, so there’s no guarantee OSU’s fortune flips this week. Do I think the Buckeyes are the “better” team? Yes, but again I thought that the past four seasons. Bottom line? Ryan Day needs to prove he can win The Game in the post-COVID era (he beat UM in 2019). Until then, shoulda, coulda, woulda falls on deaf ears.
  • Brianna Mac Kay: Ohio State 14, Michigan 7 | The last thing Ryan Day needed going into rivalry week was more questions. The question of whether Day can beat Michigan has been hanging over his head for the past couple of seasons, but now there is another major question: Will Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate be available? The status of Ohio State’s star receivers could be unknown until game day, but against a Michigan defense that has allowed an average of one passing touchdown per game Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin could still manage to squeeze a completed pass into the end zone, no matter who is on the receiving end.
  • Dan Aulbach: Ohio State 17, Michigan 9 | Ohio State enters rivalry week with the health of its two wide receivers in jeopardy. Michigan ranks No. 15 in the AP Poll, making this game Ohio State’s highest-ranked regular-season opponent. Against Rutgers, one of the worst-ranked defenses in the FBS, Ohio State had one receiver, tight end Max Klare, crack over three receptions. Suddenly, the receiver room becomes a concern for Ohio State. Playing on the road against its archrival, Ohio State escapes The Game by leaning into its defensive prowess.
  • Tony Garcia: Ohio State 27, Michigan 20 | Michigan’s offense has started to click the past two weeks, picking up nearly 500 yards at Northwestern and scoring 45 against Maryland, its most in league play all year. The Wolverines have had the Buckeyes in a mental pretzel for half a decade, but there’s a reason OSU is the top team in the land. The pick is subject to change given the health of OSU stars Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, both of whom are questionable at this point, but the Buckeyes have a lot of firepower either way. It’s all or nothing for UM. A win and the Wolverines are almost certainly in the College Football Playoff. A loss? It’s probably going back to Florida for a bowl game. Michigan is trending up, but has not shown the ability to stay with the big dogs (Oklahoma and USC) that have enough talent to keep up on every play.

Ohio State vs Michigan injury updates

Ohio State beat Rutgers handily without wide receivers Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith.

OSU’s policy is to withhold details about injuries, and coach Ryan Day was unwilling to state unequivocally if one or both of his leading pass catchers will return, but he made it sound as if they have been practicing.

The Buckeyes’ official availability report is released closer to game time, and we should know more about the status of those players when that happens.

Ohio State vs Michigan weather update

According to weather.gov, there is a winter storm warning for Ann Arbor today. Will that mean another Snow Bowl? Unlikely. The snow isn’t expected to start until around 1 p.m. The worst weather is coming Saturday night, when there is forecast to be up to five inches of accumulation and wind gusts as high as 21 mph. Game time temperature will be about 31 degrees.
