This Big 10 game's line is sitting at 8.5 points in favor of Ohio State. The Buckeyes are currently receiving -350 moneyline odds while the Wolverines are +270. The over/under is set at 52 points. If one side can create a bunch of points early on, it would likely produce a reasonable in-game betting scenario.

The line opened at 8. The game's total has not moved since it was initially set at 52.

The Buckeyes are 11-0 straight up (SU), including 8-0 SU against conference opponents. The Wolverines are 9-2 SU overall and 6-2 SU in conference play. Both of these teams have been profitable this year as the Wolverines are ahead 2.0 units and the Buckeyes have gained 5.0 units.

The Buckeyes are hoping to remain undefeated after a 28-17 victory over Penn State last week. Justin Fields completed 16 passes on 22 attempts for only 188 yards and two touchdowns. J.K. Dobbins (157 yards on 36 rush attempts, two TDs) and the signal-caller Fields (68 yards on 21 carries) spearheaded the ground attack in the win. K.J. Hill (four receptions, 46 yards, one TD) and Garrett Wilson (two catches, 21 yards) shared the receiving duties.

Michigan enters this Saturday's matchup having just earned a 39-14 win over Indiana. The allowed the Hoosiers to put up 224 passing yards and 97 rushing yards. Peyton Hendershot was a bright spot in the loss, posting 62 yards and a score on six catches for Indiana. For Michigan, Shea Patterson completed 20-of-32 passes for 366 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. Hassan Haskins (44 yards on 13 rush attempts) handled the ground game in the win as Nico Collins (six receptions, 165 yards, three TDs) and Donovan Peoples-Jones (five catches, 73 yards, one TD) led the receiving corps.

Ohio State has run the ball on 63.7 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Michigan has an overall rush percentage of 56.3 percent. The Buckeyes have produced 282 rush yards/game (including 296 per game against Big Ten opponents) and have 33 touchdowns via handoffs this year. The Wolverines are averaging 155 rush yards per contest (133 in conference) and have 24 total rushing TDs.

It appears that the Buckeyes may own an edge in all aspects of the ground game, as their backfield has logged 5.9 yards per carry while the defense is allowing 2.5 yards per rush attempt to opponents. The Wolverines have registered 4.0 yards per carry and allowed 2.8 YPC to opponents.

The Buckeyes have tallied 248 yards/contest in the air overall (236 per game versus conference opposition) and have 40 passing scores so far. The Wolverines have produced 248 pass yards per game (267.1 in the Big 10) and have 23 total pass TDs.

Defensively, Ohio State appears to have the upper hand in both phases. The team has allowed opponents to run for an average of 91 yards and pass for 126 yards per game. Michigan has allowed 105.9 yards per game on the ground and 161.1 to opposing teams in the air. The Buckeyes are allowing an adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) of just 1.75 to opponents, while the Wolverines have given up a 4 ANY/A.

Fields has amassed 2,047 passing yards this season. He's completed 160-of-233 attempts with 29 passing touchdowns and only one interception. Fields has a sparkling 9.63 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number sits at 13.30 over the past two outings.

In the other locker room, Shea Patterson has recorded 2,139 yards, 17 TDs and five INTs. Patterson's ANY/A stands at 7.49 for the season and 11.62 over his past two games.

Look for Patterson to distribute the football early and often in this one. Nico Collins (604 receiving yards and six receiving TDs this season), Ronnie Bell (477 receiving yards, one receiving TD), and Donovan Peoples-Jones (287 receiving yards, four TDs) have collectively notched 487 receiving yards and seven scores over the last couple of games.

<p>The 2022 Pac-12 Conference Championship Tournament tips off Wednesday, March 9, with the first-round matchups at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, so we have prepared the best Utah vs. Washington betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/gtbets/">GT BetsSportsbook</a>, the Huskies are small 1-point favorites with a total of 141.0 points. They’ve already defeated the Utes twice in 2021-22. Washington outlasted Utah 77-73 in double overtime on January 29 and 74-68 as a huge 10-point road underdog on January 6.</p>



<h2>Utah lost three games in a row                 </h2>



<p>The Utah Utes (11-19; 10-18-2 ATS) went 4-16 in the conference play this past regular season, finishing at the 11<sup>th</sup> spot of the Pac-12 Conference standings. They are on a three-game losing streak following an 84-71 defeat to the Colorado Buffaloes in their regular-season finale.</p>



<p>The Utes have been struggling to defend all season long. They allowed Colorado to make 50.8% of its field goals and 60.9% of its 3-pointers (14-for-23). Utah yields 103.3 points per 100 possessions (168<sup>th</sup> in the country) and scores 107.8 in a return (95<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Junior big man Branden Carlson leads the charge for the Utes, notching 13.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game, while sophomore guard Rollie Worster tallies 7.7 points, 4.4 boards, and 3.0 assists a night. Utah is No. 127 in the NCAA NET Rankings and No. 118 in the KenPom rankings.</p>



<h2>Washington won three of its last four contests               </h2>



<p>The Washington Huskies (16-14; 17-13 ATS) head to Las Vegas as the No. 6 seed. They went 11-9 in the conference play, winning three of their final four games of the regular season. The Huskies finished on a high note, and after losing to then-No. 17 UCLA 77-66 as 9-point home dogs, they’ve outlasted Oregon 78-67 as 5-point home dogs and Oregon State 78-67, too, as 9.5-point home favorites.</p>



<p>Senior guard Terrell Brown is the Huskies’ best player. He’s tallying 21.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. Over his last eight outings, Brown has averaged 21.3 points on 44.6% shooting from the field.</p>



<p>The Huskies are pretty much a one-man show on the offensive side of things. They score 104.3 points per 100 possessions (161<sup>st</sup> in the country), though Washington loves to push the ball in transition, recording 70.0 possessions per 40 minutes (55<sup>th</sup>). On the other side of the ball, the Huskies yield 99.7 points per 100 possessions (104<sup>th</sup>). Washington is No. 118 in the NCAA NET Rankings and No. 117 in the KenPom rankings.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Utah:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>1-4 ATS in the last five games against Washington</li><li>0-5 ATS in the last five games played on Wednesday&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Washington:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>5-1 ATS in the last six games played in March&nbsp;</li><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games played on Wednesday&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-utah-vs-washington-picks">Utah vs. Washington Picks</h2>



<p>The last meeting between the Utes and Huskies saw double overtime, so prepare yourself for another dramatic battle. I lean the Huskies because of their defense, while Terrell Brown could make the difference on the other side of the floor. He dropped 30 points on Utah in that 77-73 win.</p>



<p>The Utes blew a 14-point second-half lead in their first encounter with Washington in 2021-22. They turned the ball over 19 times, while the Huskies had 17 assists and only six turnovers. Washington escaped with a 74-68 victory, and Brown led the way with 15 points and eight rebounds.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Washington -1.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Utes have recorded 39 turnovers through their previous two games against the Huskies. They have to slow down things, and the Utes will certainly look for Branden Carlson at the low post. However, the rest of the Utes’ roster could struggle to deal with the Huskies’ physical defense.</p>



<p>The over is 10-2 in Washington’s last 12 games, 6-3 in Utah’s previous nine, and 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two schools. I’m looking for a tight contest and a lot of free throws down the stretch this time around, so give me the over on the totals.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 141.0 points at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
