Michigan Wolverines @ Michigan State Spartans
Sportsbook odds: Michigan State -3.5
The Michigan Wolverines are 3-0 and are in the Top 25 while the Michigan Spartans are 1-3 and are not in the Top 25. That's why when some sports bettors look at the point spread in this contest on Saturday, they might be surprised to see that the Spartans are actually favored. Not only that, they are favored by more than a field goal.
Michigan has been impressive this year but most of their damage has been done at home. The Wolverines toppled Notre Dame at home and squeaked by Indiana, which is why some people have some concerns. Also, quarterback Tate Forcier injured his shoulder last week and a lot of people are curious to see how effective he is in this contest.
The Spartans are really desperate for a win. They are 1-3 but they have played better than their record indicates. A win at home against rival Michigan would save the season and probably would save Mark Dantonio's job right now.
For Michigan, they have played four straight home games, which means they aren't really battle tested on the road. It will be interesting to see how they respond - especially their two freshmen quarterbacks - to see if this team is truly Top 25 worthy.
BetOnline Picks: Michigan +3.5
Ohio State Buckeyes @ Indiana Hoosiers
Football betting odds: Ohio State -17.5
The Ohio State Buckeyes have rebounded after starting the season with a couple of questionable performances. The Buckeyes barely beat Navy in the opener and then lost a tight game at home to USC, which raised a lot of questions as to whether Ohio State was truly ready to be a Big Ten contender or to be a BCS factor.
But after those outings, the Buckeyes have been downright dominant in their last two games. The Buckeyes have back-to-back shutouts against Illinois and Toldeo, outscoring those two opponents 68-0 over the last two weeks.
The Buckeyes now head to Indiana, who overachieved last week. The Hoosiers blew a win at the Big House and it will be interesting to see how they respond after that game. The Buckeyes are rolling right now and they won't be scared off playing on the road. Look for them to get another impressive win and cover the spread this week.
