MSU football opens as monster underdogs in rivalry matchup vs. Michigan

Michigan (Organization) Football Michigan State Spartans

Michigan State football has opened as a three-score underdog in their annual rivalry matchup against Michigan.

The Wolverines are favored by 23 points over the Spartans in this upcoming Saturday night matchup from Spartan Stadium. Michigan State enters this game on a four-game losing streak and reeling from a blown 18-point fourth-quarter lead against Rutgers this past weekend. Michigan on the other hand is a perfect 7-0 and has yet to be tested this year, with an average margin of victory of 32.7 points per game.
