The rivalry between Michigan and Ohio State could be one of the most intense matchups in college football this season.

Here are online sports betting insights for Michigan playing Ohio State. In the NFL, the Chicago Bears are taking on the New York Jets and the Green Bay Packers are facing off with the Philadelphia Eagles.

NFL

Chicago Bears at New York Jets

Sunday, Nov. 27 | TV: FOX | 1 p.m. ET

While the Jets are making a change at quarterback, they are still NFL betting favorites at -6 against the Bears at home.

The Jets have decided to start Mike White behind center. Zach Wilson, the former No. 2 overall pick, had thrown for 1,279 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions in seven games. The Jets have played well defensively, however, allowing 18.6 points and 310.5 yards per game.

The Bears also have issues at quarterback, as Justin Fields is questionable heading into this game. He leads the team with 1,642 passing yards and 834 rushing yards. He’s thrown for 13 touchdowns and has run for seven more.

Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles

Sunday, Nov. 27 | TV: NBC | 8:20 p.m. ET

The Eagles lost two weeks ago and narrowly defeated the Colts last week, and yet their NFL betting line is -6.5 against the Packers.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has thrown for 2,407 yards, 15 touchdowns and three interceptions while running for 440 yards and eight touchdowns. Miles Sanders paces the team with 757 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. AJ Brown has a team-high 785 yards and six touchdowns on 49 receptions.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has 2,542 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and seven picks. Allen Lazard is Green Bay’s leading receiver with 529 yards and five touchdowns. Aaron Jones has a team-best 778 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

College Football

Michigan Wolverines at Ohio State Buckeyes

Saturday, Nov. 26 | TV: FOX | 8 a.m. ET

At home, No. 2-ranked Ohio State has -300 college football odds to win over No. 3 Michigan.

CJ Stroud leads Ohio State with 2,991 passing yards, 35 touchdowns and four interceptions. Marvin Harrison Jr. is the team’s go-to receiver, as he has 1,037 yards and 11 touchdowns. Miyan Williams leads the Buckeyes with 783 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.

Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy has thrown for 1,952 yards, 14 touchdowns and two picks. Ronnie Bell has a team-high 641 yards on 48 catches. However, the Wolverines’ offense may have to make adjustments as the status of Blake Corum, Michigan’s leading rusher with 1,457 yards and 18 touchdowns, is unclear as of Wednesday, Nov. 23.
