Michigan wins easily by double digits

If this game was on the road, there would be more reason to worry. But since the Wolverines are playing at home and are coming off their closest win of the season, South Carolina should have their full attention.

Michigan has been dominant wherever it has played this season, however, UM is winning games at Crisler Arena by an average of 20 points and that includes a pair of top-20 teams in Purdue and North Carolina.

South Carolina is also the last power-5 team Michigan will play before Big Ten play starts again. After this, Michigan will battle Western Michigan, Air Force and Binghamton. So don’t expect the Wolverines to take this one lightly, especially after the loss two seasons ago.

If Michigan doesn’t show up or has a really tough day offensively, South Carolina could hang around because it’s a solid defensive team, other than that, the Wolverines should win without too much trouble.
