The Wolverines have given up an average of 39 points during that time, which will definitely put some sportsbook players off. Tate <span class=SpellE>Forcier<\/span> actually had a decent game, going 20-of-26 for 188 yards, two touchdowns and a pick, but it won&#8217;t make a difference until the <st1:State><st1:place>Michigan<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> defense gets it together: they allowed 469 yards to <st1:State><st1:place>Wisconsin<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, including 229 on the ground.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betonline.com\/\" title=\"Online betting\">Online betting<\/a>&nbsp;odds in your sportsbook are favoring <\/span><\/font><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Ohio<\/st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> by 12.5 points in <st1:City><st1:place>Ann Arbor<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, where they&#8217;ve won two of their last three trips. Overall, the Buckeyes have dominated their rivals as of late with five straight wins, and that may be the only thing that keeps <span class=SpellE>Tressel<\/span> in a job, given his BCS struggles.

Meanwhile, this means far more to Michigan as coach Rich Rodriguez has people calling for his head, and it&#8217;s never good at Michigan to lose so many in a row to the Buckeyes. The Wolverines need to take away the running game and let Pryor carry the load with his arm. Pryor has attempted at least 25 passes in a game five times this year, and two of those ended in losses.
