MICHIGAN ?27.5 - Michigan is currently ranked #7, and they showed why with a resounding 45-7 win over Central Michigan to begin the season. The Wolverines traditionally feast on non-conference opponents, especially here at home. In fact, Michigan is 14-1 S/U in home non-conference games over the last 5 years, winning those games by an average of 17.3 points. Granted, this line is about 10 points higher, but the Wolverines own a tremendous class advantage here. Houston did begin the year with a nice 48-14 win over Rice. However, that came at home, and they figure to be intimidated in their first visit to ?The Big House? in 10 years. Houston is also 4-9 S/U in non-conference road games the last 5 years, losing by na average of 13.2 points to teams that are mostly inferior to this outstanding Michigan squad.
