Summary

It is the best rivalry in college football, and the stakes could not be much higher for the 2018 edition of the Ohio State-Michigan game.

The Wolverines are favored by 3.5 points, meaning the Buckeyes are underdogs in The Game in Columbus for the first time since 2004. (Which was a 37-21 OSU victory in Troy Smith's coming-out-party, by the way.)

What chances do we give Ohio State of pulling off the mild upset and sending Jim Harbaugh to 0-4 against OSU, and Urban Meyer to 7-0 against UM?

Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle for takes on all of that and much more on a 19-minute edition of the Monday extravaganza.

0:00.0	The The Good morning, Bucknut.
0:27.0	Good morning Bucknut was welcoming to The Bucknuts Morning Five here on Monday, November 19th, 2018, and welcome to the game week. I am Dave Biddle joined
0:36.1	by Bill Bank Green. Bank, the Buckeyes, three and a half point underdogs to that team
0:42.2	up north. The first time the buck guys are going
0:44.6	to be underdogs in this game in Columbus since 2004. That game worked out pretty well.
0:49.4	Troy Smith's coming out party. Just your thoughts on the game. You're Ohio State's an
0:54.1	underdog I'm sure it doesn't surprise you but just your general thoughts on this
0:56.9	game and kind of what what do you expect to happen? Yeah I have no clue what to expect and I think that's probably been true since I was a little kid, you know, in this rivalry.
1:11.0	So expect the unexpected, you know, it just always holds true. My thought is I
1:18.9	think Michigan is the better team. I don't think they're head and shoulders the better team. I think they're better.
1:27.0	And I think the game, I think we're going to know pretty much after about you know maybe 45 minutes on the clock where
1:36.6	this is going I think if Michigan can come into the Ohio Stadium jump jump Ohio State, you know, get up 17-6, 24 to 9, something like that in the first
1:49.6	half.
1:50.6	It kind of sucks the life by the stadium and that stadium can get really quiet, you know, and then maybe they booed the team going off the field at halftime and everything is just, it's not going to go well. You know, you can see that happening. I can also see a scenario where Ohio State comes out fired up. The crowd is going bananas. You can't hear a word inside that stadium.
2:13.2	Ohio State plays their best ball of the year, starts fast,
2:17.7	something they never do.
2:19.5	And if that thing is close, and you get into the fourth quarter and the
2:24.6	Ohio State's either got the lead or maybe behind by three then it could start to
2:30.0	get a little tight under the collar for both Jim Harboff and his players.
2:35.3	At that point it becomes kind of a, holy crap here it goes again.
2:39.8	We've got everything on the line here and we never can beat these guys. And in Ohio State it's like,
2:46.8	shoot, we've been here before. Nobody on this team, you know, has ever lost to Michigan, this is what we do.
