Michigan at Michigan State

No. 2 Michigan has a potent offense behind QB J.J. McCarthy (14 TDs, 3 INTs) and RB Blake Corum (546 yards, 5.7 ypc). The defense is tops in the country in points allowed (6.7 per game), second in yards allowed (233.1 per game), and 15th on third down (31.46%). Michigan is on a 17-6 spread run in Big 10 play and 30-16 ATS after outgaining three straight opponents by 100+ total yards. Michigan State is a mess. Head coach Mel Tucker was fired and they've lost four in a row under interim coach Harlon Barnett. The Spartans have turned to freshman QB Katin Houser, with their two signal callers combining for 8 TDs and 7 picks. They come in shell-shocked after blowing an 18-point fourth-quarter lead to Rutgers in a 27-24 defeat. Michigan State is 44-68 ATS off a Big 10 loss and 5-15 ATS at home versus defenses that allow 285 yards or fewer per game. Play Michigan.
