Not much has gone right for the Michigan Wolverines this season. They sit at just 2-4 and have endured beatdowns by their fellow Big Ten members.

The Wolverines have a high-profile matchup against No. 4 Ohio State this week, and the odds are stacked against Michigan.

While the Buckeyes are one of the best teams in the country, FanDuel Sportsbook has the Wolverines as 30.5-point underdogs, which is straight up disrespectful to Jim Harbaugh's team.

Yes, Michigan has struggled this year. Yes, Ohio State is undefeated and looks like a College Football Playoff contender. But 31 points is a lot to lose by, even for the Wolverines.

Ohio State and Michigan have played in 103 all-time, head-to-head matchups. The Buckeyes lead the Wolverines in all-time wins, 52-47, but only four of those wins have been by more than 30 points. The last time that occurred is 2008, and two of those wins took place in the 1930s. All of that goes to say: It's incredibly rare for Ohio State to truly blow out the Wolverines.

This has been a wacky college football season with COVID-19 disrupting teams' schedules, so anything can happen.

And with Harbaugh eyeing an NFL gig again, he'll look to leave a good impression in his potential last game, rather than end with a blowout.
