In all of football —professional, collegiate, high school, Pop Warner, whatevs— there is no rivalry quite like the one between the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Each year, these two proud universities square off in the final game of Big Ten regular season play; more often than not, the outcome determines who will go on to compete in the BCS championship game. Today is no exception, as the #2 Ohio State Buckeyes (coached by Urban Meyer) will be taking on the #3 Michigan Wolverines (coached by Jim Harbaugh) in Columbus, Ohio. This game has Heisman Trophy implications, too — Michigan’s outstanding linebacker Jabrill Peppers could make history with a big game today!

WHAT TIME DOES THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES VS. MICHIGAN WOLVERINES GAME START?

The Wolverines and Buckeyes game is scheduled for a 12 p.m. (noon) Eastern kickoff.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES VS. OHIO STATE BUCKEYES GAME?

The Buckeyes/Wolverines game will air on ABC and ESPN3, which means it is also being livestreamed on the Worldwide Leader’s excellent WatchESPN app, as well as Sling TV. Unfortunately, you’ll need to authenticate with a cable provider if you want to watch the game on Watch ESPN, so get your (or your friend’s/parent’s!) login credentials ready.

All you cordcutters out there can watch today’s big game via Sling TV, whose Orange package carries both ESPN and ESPN3 (more on Sling below).

And there’s also PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to ESPN.

SAY I WERE A BETTING PERSON. WHAT IS THE LINE IN THE MICHIGAN / OHIO STATE GAME?

If you were to wager on the game, you should know that the Ohio State Buckeyes are favored to win by 5 points, primarily because the team has homefield advantage (and has won 9 of the last 10 years).

HOW CAN I GET THE WATCH ESPN APP?

If you consider yourself a sports fan and you haven’t already downloaded the free Watch ESPN app for your iOS, Android or Windows Mobile device, you’re doing it wrong. Rectify that situation immediately! You can also tune-in via Watch ESPN’s Roku channel, using your Amazon Fire TV or Chromecast device, or by visiting WatchESPN.com on your desktop or laptop computer. (NOTE: You’re going to need to authenticate with your cable provider, so make sure you have your login and password for your cable system handy.)

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Orange package, which includes access to ESPN, ESPN 2, Comedy Central, and TNT, normally costs $20 a month, but the company is currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
