Central Michigan will travel to Ann Arbor to take on Michigan in Week 3. While these two programs are close in proximity, it’s only the fifth time they’ll meet in their respective histories.

According to BetMGM Sportsbook, Michigan is a 27-point favorite over Central Michigan. The over-under has been set at 42.5

The Wolverines have been victorious in all four matchups between these two programs. 2013 was the last time they met, and Michigan outscored the Chippewas by 50 points on their way to a monster win.

2006, 2003 and 1931 were the other times Michigan and Central Michigan faced off. 27 points is the smallest margin of victory for the Wolverines, so it goes without saying that they’ve not just won, but dominated in this rivalry.

It’ll be up to Central Michigan to break the streak. The Chippewas skated by San Jose State in Week 1, but a tough matchup against Pittsburgh set them back a bit in Week 2. A win over Michigan in Week 3 could be a program changer.
