This line obviously screams Michigan. I was the first one on this site to tell you guys to start betting Michigan and people thought I was crazy. Well, 3 shutouts later it looks like I knew what I was talking about.
Right now Michigan looks like the better team. MSU has battled injuries and the game is in Ann Arbor. Everything points to the tide shifting in this rivalry and as of now I see the Wolverines winning this game but starting to think this spread is too high.
This game has ugly struggle written all over it. I see Michigan making mistakes here to keep MSU in this one throughout. If you got MSU +8.5 then that was a good bet. This is likely a one score game in which the Spartans have a shot at the end but Michigan's defense comes up with a stop.
