Michigan opens as 29-point favorite over Rutgers in Week 5

Michigan football is back in action this coming weekend when they return home to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights this weekend, which generally speaking is a good slump buster for any Big Ten team.

Oddsmakers agree, as the Wolverines opened as a 29-point favorite over Rutgers with the over/under set at 48.5 points, according to Vegas Insider. As of this posting, the line has been bet down to 28 points with the over/under set at 48.

Michigan has won handily in each of the first four meetings with Rutgers under Jim Harbaugh with one of them being a blowout of historic proportions.
