The Michigan State Spartans are 11-0 straight up and 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games against Big Ten opponents. That record will be put to the test this Saturday in the Big House against the Michigan Wolverines.
Michigan State is a
7-point underdog on the road according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Spartans are an incredible 9-1-1 in their last 11 games as the betting underdog with a 7-4 SU record over that stretch.
On the road against Rutgers last week, the Spartans once again did just enough to win, getting out of town with a 31-24 victory as a 12.5-point favorite. The Spartans improved to 6-0 SU on the season while falling to 0-6 ATS in the process.
There is legitimate cause for concern here, as the Spartans' 31-28 win over Oregon looks worse with each passing week as the Ducks look like a team that may struggle to even go bowling this season.
This rivalry has been all Michigan State in recent years. The Spartans are 6-1 SU and 7-0 ATS in their last seven games against the Wolverines, per the
OddsShark College Football Database.
