Instead, they head for instate rival Michigan State, which is itching for revenge after wasting a 17-point fourth-quarter lead against Michigan last season at the Big House. MSU is favored for the first time since at least 1973, which is as far back as records exist on odds in the series. ? Michigan hopes to have tailback Mike Hart back after going without him in most of the last three games. Hart suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of game two against Notre Dame. He did not play against either Eastern Michigan or Wisconsin ? Michigan has lost its last six road openers. ? One reason the Wolverines' offense is struggling is the lack of production from supposed big-play threat Steve Breaston. He caught one pass for minus-1 yard and averaged just 5.5 yards on punt returns and 14.8 yards on kickoff returns at Madison.

this looks like a toss up to me at the point spread it is at. Im off this one unless there is some more buzz on this site either way.
 
Mich St has been the underdog every game since 1975. Michigan has won their last 14 games when they were .500 going into the game (not counting 0-0). There is a lot of pride on the Mich side, but State should have won last year at Michigan when Stanton got hurt. Could be the best game of the day.
