Michigan vs. Michigan State BETTING PREDICTION
Michigan is coming off yet another blowout win, while Michigan State blew a huge lead in their loss to Rutgers. I know this is a rivalry game and the Wolverines are on the road, but this could get ugly.
Michigan has been extremely efficient on offense, while the defense looks to be the best in the country thru 7 weeks. The Wolverines’ defense now gets to face a freshman quarterback, Katin Houser who is starting his second career game. To Houser’s credit he played well and gave the Spartans a great chance to win, however he is facing a different level of competition this week. Michigan jumps out to an early lead and takes the energy out of East Lansing in a route.
