Michigan-Ohio State Betting Line Moved by Early Sharp Action

In college football's marquee Week 12 matchup, the Michigan Wolverines travel to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes (12 p.m. ET, FOX).

On Sept. 11, Ohio State was listed as a 9-point favorite in Westgate's Game of the Year lines.

However, despite a 9-1 record, Ohio State has struggled in the past month while the Wolverines are rolling.

As a result, oddsmakers opened Michigan as a 3.5-point road favorite across the market against Ohio State, a 12.5-point swing from just over two months ago.

Fifty-six percent of tickets are backing the Wolverines, indicating that action is relatively split so far this week.

But according to The Action Network's betting tools, early sharp action is already taking a side in this matchup.

Let's take a look at how wiseguy money is shaping the Michigan-Ohio State betting line.

After Michigan opened -3.5, oddsmakers quickly adjusted the line up to -4. Why? Because wiseguys immediately jumped on the Wolverines.

Sports Insights' Bet Signals — which track and report professional betting action in real-time — triggered a Steam Move on Sunday evening at Michigan -3.5.

Steam is defined as sudden, uniform line movement caused by respected bettors playing the same side of a game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

While early action is clearly behind Michigan, there's still plenty of time for bettors to continue shaping this line.
