Plenty of teams from around the country have historically done a good job of taking care of business when favored in games.

Action Network’s Brett McMurphy revealed what teams have the most consecutive wins in games when favored by 10 points or more.

Indiana, Ohio State, and Michigan have all gotten the job done when favored by 10 points or more.

The Hoosiers lead the B1G with 23 wins in those games. Ohio State came in second with 17, while Michigan has 15 wins.

Other schools that have done well when favored are Cincinnati, Kentucky, Syracuse, Texas Tech, Georgia, Utah, Ole Miss, Utah State, Baylor, N.C. State, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, Oregon, and Clemson.

Both Ohio State and Michigan are favored by more than 10 points in their Week 10 matchups. Indiana plays Penn State, but the Nittany Lions are favored by 14 in that game.

We’ll see if this stat remains true after the Week 10 games. Ohio State and Michigan’s games are set for noon ET, while Penn State-Indiana starts at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
