Last week, the Wolverines won emphatically, but it took a long time to get going. Indiana had taken an early lead, but that would be the Hoosiers’ only score. Michigan controlled the game from there. MSU, on the other hand, had a 24-6 lead over Rutgers before losing 24-27.
If you thought the past few weeks have seen lofty point spreads, this week is even more emphatic with the struggling Hoosiers coming to town.
- Point spread: Michigan -25.5
- Money line: Michigan -3000, MSU +1200
- Over-under: 46.5

Advice and prediction
Michigan has emphatically beat the spread each of the past four weeks, but with the weather forecast calling for rain and this being MSU’s Super Bowl, there’s no telling what will happen.
However, this is a much, much more talented team from Ann Arbor than the one in East Lansing, and Michigan has relished playing on the road. There’s certainly some anger inside Schembechler Hall due to the postgame shenanigans as well as the new scandal, so expect the Wolverines to roll. Take the over, and Michigan by both the money line and the point spread.
Prediction: Michigan 42, MSU 9
