Vegas Already Betting On Michigan vs Ohio State

It has been 1640 days since May 28th, 2024, when Ohio State beat Michigan in college football. But could this be the year Ohio State beats Michigan?

Michigan has defeated Ohio State three in a row, but can the Buckeyes end the streak in 2024?

Las Vegas odds makers are already commenting on the biggest rivalry in college football. So far, Ohio State has opened as a 9.5-point favorite against Michigan, heading into this ears rivalry game.

Ohio State Record: From 2004-19, Ohio State won all but one of the rivalry games against Michigan. Michigan has owned Ohio State for the last three years. Ohio State will look to get back into the winning ways against Michigan this November.

Ryan Day said in The Spun.com, "We know what this game means to so many people, and so to come up short is certainly crushing," 

Ohio State, expected to open the season ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the country, will host Michigan in Columbus this November. 

The League will see some changes this year as it expands to 18 teams. The Michigan Wolverines having the fourth-best odds shows you how deep the new-look Big Ten will be.

 I don't count out Michigan to win the Big Ten this season, but Vegas gives it a 16% chance of it happening. That isn't too far-fetched. A lot has been said about what Michigan has lost in the off-season, but the Wolverines have plenty coming back and one of the best defenses in the country. The QB spot is a giant hole without J.J. McCarthy. But then again, Odds makers didn't even give him a second look for most of the season before falling in love with him at the end.

Do you want to win the odds makers? Michigan's defense will rule the iron grid. Michigan will be right in the hunt this year as long as they stay healthy in that aspect of the game. I doubt only that they will repeat a 15-0 season, but I don't think the curse will be lifted for Ohio State. Michigan will win by 10.

There's nothing like college football. From tailgating to the nail biting finish, it's always a great time. What makes it so great? It has to be the atmosphere of an NCAA game. You're on campus surrounded by the most loyal fans imaginable. No matter what college you're at, or previously attended, it's always special. However, some are more special than others. We ranked the 5 greatest stadiums in college football.

Doing this wasn't easy. Do you know how many amazing stadiums there are in the country? Truly countless! So, you best believe these 5 all have something very unique about them.

First off, I want to be clear that the results are completely bias free. Okay, maybe almost completely bias free. I can't promise that some of my personal opinions didn't shape the rankings. They probably did, to an extent. You should know, I graduated from Michigan State University. I am a proud Spartan. However, Spartan Stadium didn't make this list. See? I didn't let my biases influence the results.

That's not to say Spartan Stadium isn't worthy of being on the list. I had some crazy times in the student section there. Spartans show up to support their team. They have hilarious chants and MSU has one of the most beautiful campuses in the entire country. Spartan Stadium is beautiful and sits on the Red Cedar River. It's incredibly scenic. Yet, it wasn't enough to make this list of the greatest stadiums in college football.

In fact, some other iconic stadiums didn't make the cut, either. The iconic blue turf at Boise State's Albertsons Stadium won't be found on the list. Beaver Stadium has history and legacy, but also isn't on this list. So, if your school's stadium didn't make the list please don't take it personally. Unless you're an Ohio State fan. There's no way the Shoe was going to make the list. Excuse me, *the* Shoe. Let's get to the list!

You can't talk about iconic stadiums and not mention Rose Bowl Stadium. It's basically the epitome of iconic stadiums. Then, you add the mountain backdrop and it really can't get much better than that. Personally, I've never been but it's high up on my bucket list.

Tigers may hate cinnamon, but they love football. LSU's Tiger Stadium is one of the best environments in all of college football. That place gets loud! No team wants to come into Death Valley. I mean, certainly they call it that for a reason, right?

There's something about Neyland Stadium that stands out and separates from the pack. Maybe it's the checkered end zone. Perhaps it's the crowd in their orange and white. The music? So much to like about games at Tennessee. Whenever I see one of their night games on TV, I can't lie I get a little jealous. Good for those students who get to enjoy game days there.

It's Iowa, how exciting can it be? I understand that perspective. However, what makes Kinnick one of the best stadiums in the country has nothing to do with their field or play. I love how the children's hospital overlooks the field. What an amazing thought. It gives the kids an opportunity to watch the games, and that can mean everything. I think it could be one of my favorite traditions in all of sports.

Every game, at the end of the first quarter, the filled stadium and sidelines turn their attention to UI Stead Family Children's Hospital and wave to the children. Watch it sometime. It will melt your heart...and I say that as a fan of another Big Ten school. Good on you, Iowa!

You had to have seen this coming, right? I'm a proud Spartan and even I can't deny the greatest that is The Big House. Not only is it the largest stadium in the United States (and entire Western Hemisphere), it's the third-largest stadium in all of the world! It's truly a sight to behold.
