No one in their right mind can question whether Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh is a good football coach. However, he still has the stigma of not being able to beat the Wolverines’ two biggest rivals: Michigan State and Ohio State.

The Wolverines lost their season opener but are right back in the College Football Playoff hunt at No. 6 in the nation and visit the No. 24 Spartans in one of the marquee matchups of Week 8. Sparty just upset another Top 10 team last week in Penn State and has owned Michigan under head coach Mark Dantonio. Michigan State, though, is a 7-point home underdog for this one. It has covered an astounding 10 straight games against Michigan.

Also in the Big Ten, No. 2 Ohio State visits Purdue. The Buckeyes looked mortal in Week 7 in beating Minnesota just 30-14 but still rose to second in the AP Top 25. Purdue opened the season 0-3 but has won three in a row all by double digits. The Boilers have covered seven of the past 10 against OSU.
