Best Michigan vs Michigan State Bets
- Bryce Underwood Total Passing Yards Over 204.5: -115
- Makhi Frazier Total Rushing Yards Over 34.5: -115
- Total Points Over 48.5: +105
Underwood's Passing Yards Over Presents Strong Opportunity
Bryce Underwood has cleared this passing total in five of seven games this season, establishing himself as a capable dual-threat freshman.
His ability to stretch the field keeps defenses honest, and Michigan State's struggling secondary – ranked 120th nationally in scoring defense – sets up perfectly for another productive passing performance.
The Spartans have surrendered nearly 33 points per game and have been particularly vulnerable at home during their four-game losing streak, sitting winless in Big Ten play at 0-4.
Especially after Michigan State allowed 38 points to Indiana in their most recent outing, Underwood's developing chemistry with his receivers and ability to avoid pressure could result in another night of passing for 205 yards or more.
The Wolverines will capitalize on Underwood's arm talent at -115 odds on college football prop bets against a Michigan State defense that has been exploited consistently.
Frazier Rushing Yards Over Remains Solid Option
Despite the Spartans' offensive struggles during their losing streak, Makhi Frazier continues to produce as Michigan State's primary ground threat with 384 yards and two touchdowns.
More impressively, he's cleared 34.5 rushing yards in five of seven games this season while averaging 54.9 yards per contest.
Even with quarterback Aidan Chiles facing pressure and the offense struggling to sustain drives, Frazier remains the focal point of Michigan State's ground attack regardless of game situation.
Michigan's defense has been stout but could face challenges containing the run if the Spartans establish early success.
Frazier's steady workload and ability to locate rushing room in Michigan State's offensive scheme are reflected in this wager, which is at -115.
Over Offers Worth Despite Defensive Strength
The 48.5-point total seems reasonable given Michigan's offensive capabilities and Michigan State's defensive vulnerabilities throughout the season.
The Wolverines are averaging 28.7 points per game while the Spartans have allowed 32.7 points per contest, indicating potential for a higher-scoring affair.
Michigan showed offensive efficiency in their second half against Washington, while Michigan State converted just enough plays to stay competitive against Indiana.
The over could hit on sportsbooks in Michigan with CFB props, as both teams have shown scoring ability when given opportunities.
