The odds for this game opened at Texas -3.5 (-115) with a Total of 45.5 points. The Total has dropped to 42.5 more than likely because both defenses allowed a combined 10 points in Week 1.
Texas last week won easily 52-0 against Colorado State, while Michigan was in a tight game until midway through the 3rd Quarter against Fresno State. That explains why the spread has moved from -3.5 to -7.5, passing the key numbers of -6.5 and -7.
