Michigan Football: 5 predictions for the Wolverines against Rutgers
Michigan football will look sharp
You have probably heard lots of people say this, but this Wolverines team just feels different. I honestly think its the best Michigan team I have seen since 1997 and at least since 2006.
But one thing that separates this team is its drive to be great each and every week. Against Penn State, Michigan didn’t just want a win, it wanted to pound the Nittany Lions and it did just that. And just that confidence, to know they could not only beat Penn State but blow them out, is impressive.

When it comes to Rutgers, I think Michigan will continue to play well. The reality is that Michigan could probably sleepwalk through most of this game and still win by a few scores, however, I don’t see that happening.
This Michigan club plays with a point to prove every week and even though the Wolverines are playing a team that is 0-6 in the Big Ten, early in the morning, in New Jersey, they will be ready to go and they will crush the spirits of the Scarlet Knights very early.
