Michigan Football vs Minnesota: 3 bold predictions for the Wolverines

Michigan gets a solid win

There is no part of me that expects Michigan football to win easily over Minnesota. But I do think the Wolverines will put together one of their most impressive games of the season.

With Peters at quarterback, the team has a new energy. The crowd seems more fired up and there is a just a bounce in the step. Minnesota is a decent program, but they are 1-4 in the Big Ten for a reason.

Of course, every week in the Big Ten is a battle. The Gophers do have a tough defense and a good running game. They are also well coached and capable of making this a nerve-racking game, all the way to the end.

But Minnesota hasn’t seen a defense like this one and the Gophers quarterbacks aren’t very good. Michigan football is just too talented it seems, on both sides of the ball.
