Betting Odds
The money line lists Michigan at -600 and Michigan State at +440. The spread is Michigan -14, with the over at -118 and under at -102.
Team Form
Michigan (5-3) has won two of its last three games, including a 28-21 victory at Rutgers where freshman quarterback Tommy Carr completed 22 of 27 passes for 266 yards and ran for two touchdowns. The Wolverines' defense allows 16.4 points and 250 total yards per game.
Michigan State (2-6) has lost six straight since a 2-0 start. In their last outing, a 28-10 loss at UCLA, the Spartans managed only 156 total yards and converted two of 11 third downs. Freshman Kayd Coffman started at quarterback with Leo Hannan seeing relief action.
Prediction
SportsLine projects a 31-15 Michigan win, a 16-point margin that would cover the 14-point spread. The Wolverines' improved passing attack and strong rushing defense against a struggling Spartans offense support the pick of Michigan -14.
