Ohio State football is already a 3.5-point favorite vs. Michigan in 2024

Ohio State may have just watched Michigan win its 10th national championship in school history with a 34-13 win against Washington Monday night.

But according to FanDuel Sportsbook, Ohio State is already favored to end its three-game losing streak against the Wolverines in November.

FanDuel has the Buckeyes as 3.5-point favorites against Michigan Nov. 30 at Ohio Stadium. The over/under is set at 49.5 points, while Ohio State’s money line odds sit at -166.

Ohio State covered seven of 12 games in 2023 against the spread. The Buckeyes were three-point favorites against Michigan in Ann Arbor ahead of their 30-24 loss Nov. 25. Ohio State was also four-point favorites before losing to Missouri 14-3 in the Cotton Bowl Dec. 29.

Since the 2023 season ended, Ohio State has added four transfers: former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard, former Ohio tight end Will Kacmarek, former Mississippi running back Quinshon Judkins and former Alabama offensive lineman Seth McLaughlin.

Ohio State is in the middle of its longest losing streak to Michigan since 1995-97. If the Buckeyes lose to the Wolverines in November, the Buckeyes’ losing streak would be the longest since 1988-91.
