Picks for 1/23/26

Rotation # 892
Michigan -15.5 over Ohio State (loss)
There are a handful of teams that have proven elite status so far this season, and Michigan is one of them. The Wolverines play outstanding defense and operate at a fast and effective tempo on offense. The Buckeyes are no pushovers, but I question whether they can play at a quicker tempo to keep up. Transfers Yaxel Lendeborg, Aday Mara, and Morez Johnson have been great additions to the Wolverines program, which has big men that shoot like guards. Dusty May has the Wolverines rolling as they should be ready to win on the glass. The pace should be too much for the Buckeyes to handle, as the Wolverines will pull away and win by double digits on their home floor. Take Michigan.
