After squandering a double-digit second-half lead in this rivalry game a year ago, can the Michigan Wolverines exact revenge as massive home favorites against the Michigan State Spartans?
Among Saturday's primetime college football Week 9 action is the annual in-state rivalry matchup between the Spartans and the Wolverines.
Michigan State (2-4-1 ATS, 3-4 O/U) finally got back in the win column against Wisconsin. That snapped a four-game losing streak for the Spartans dating ba ck to September 10th. Michigan State looks to scratch out three more wins in the final month of the season to achieve bowl eligibility.
Meanwhile, Michigan (4-3 ATS, 1-5-1 O/U) has an unbeaten record still intact and ranks No. 4 in the latest AP Poll. Prior to last week's bye, the Wolverines piled it on Penn State in what ultimately became a 24-point win. This marks the second straight year Michigan enters this in-state rivalry undefeated.
