Michigan 22 Rutgers 0.

Michigan scores on 2 touchdowns and four safeties.

Rutgers gets 50 yards of total offense and crosses the 50 twice, never getting in the red zone.

I think the Double Int Twins are good for at least one pick six. If Underwood starts, it might get ugly because he can run, though he can't do anything else.

Rutgers will go for it on 4th down a lot. Hopefully they just throw deep because the tush push and it’s variants aren’t getting anywhere.

It’s likely a nice day and I would like to see Michigan, but they are playing Rutgers. Game time decision to attend.

Michigan 48
Rutgers 6

As always, I reserve the right to modify my prediction as we get closer to game time.

Michigan is #2 in nation for total defense (with their passing defense #7 slightly better than rushing defense #15)
But the defense isn't a big sack/TFL team
Michigan is # 130 for total offense (#112 for turnover margin)
Michigan has an awful offense - throw out their UTEP game (won 52-12) and they have not scored more than 20 points in any game.
Their three losses were by total of 11 points - a half decent offense and they would great.
An upset is far from likely but its not like snow in July

Shocked the line hasn’t moved from Michigan -14.5. Don’t think it will be close. 27-3 seems right

Rutgers runs the ball like last game and the backup QBs passes don't bounce in front of the open receivers.

Michigan has the #15 run defense in the nation Northwestern is #88. Might want to rethink that 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those 3 losses were to #’s 4, 5 and 43 Total D’s. We are the 129th rank defense in the nation. They’re gonna score on us.
