There was no doubt Michigan would be the favorite heading into Saturday's game at Rutgers.
The question was just by how many. And we now have an answer.
The fifth-ranked Wolverines opened as 39-point favorites at Caesars properties in Las Vegas on Sunday, according to VegasInsider.com.
A 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff for the game, to be played at HighPoint.com Stadium in Piscataway, N.J., was announced Sunday morning. Big Ten Network will televise the game.
The large spread is an indicator of how far apart these two Big Ten programs really are. Michigan (8-1, 6-0 Big Ten) is riding an eight-game winning streak and coming off a 42-7 blowout victory over No.
