Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. I think whichever way this game goes, it’s low-scoring. Whether it’s Michigan not being able to break down Ohio State’s defense or the Buckeyes prioritizing health with the Big Ten and possibly college football playoff on the horizon I think points will be at a premium here. Give me the under.
