The Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans have been on a collision course all season long to meet up in East Lansing and both be undefeated on Halloween weekend. After Michigan’s beatdown of Northwestern on Saturday, and Michigan State’s nail-biting victory against Indiana last weekend, that vision became a reality.
The stage is set for one of the in-state powers to lose its first game of the season next weekend, and it will come in a rivalry game with the Paul Bunyan Trophy on the line. So what does Vegas have to say about this game early on?
The first sportsbook to make a spread for this game was DraftKings Sportsbook, and they have Michigan as the early 2.5-point favorite. The over/under is set at 51.5.
Michigan is 6-1 against the spread this season, with the lone miss being against Nebraska. MSU is also 6-1 ATS this year, with its only miss being against Nebraska in the overtime thriller in East Lansing.
Needless to say — something’s got to give.
