Betting line continues to move in Spartans favor vs. Wolverines

Michigan was once favored by more than three touchdowns over the Spartans, and now its down to a single score betting line

The experts in Vegas are continuing to show their support for the Spartans in Saturday’s rivalry matchup against the Wolverines.

The betting line between Michigan and Michigan State has moved a ton since it originally opened over the summer. In the past week, that line has moved even more.

In the summer when the betting line was originally released for the Michigan-Michigan State game, the Wolverines were favored by 24.5 points at some books. That line dropped to 9.5 last week before both teams played their most recent games — a Spartans win over Iowa and Wolverines loss at Illinois. And now, that betting line has been bet down to only Michigan -3.5 as of Wednesday night on FanDuel.

Both Michigan and Michigan State come into this rivalry matchup with 4-3 overall records and 2-2 marks in Big Ten play. The Spartans have played better as of late, with Michigan losing each of its last two games.

Kickoff between the Spartans and Wolverines is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Advice and prediction

Mel Tucker has yet to lose a game by single digits while at Michigan State so the safe bet here is to pick a Wolverines double-digit win. Unless, of course, you think the Spartans will win outright. I don’t consider that possibility impossible but I’m also not ready to completely buy back into Michigan State where I think they pull the upset in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Prediction: Michigan 31, Michigan State 21
