Michigan at Indiana (W)

Just as Michigan State will head to Ann Arbor for a second straight season, the Wolverines will head back to Bloomington after routing the Hoosiers there a year ago.

Indiana was 8-5 a year ago under Tom Allen and ESPN barely gives Michigan a better than 50 percent chance to win this game. That’s partially due to Indiana becoming more relevant, as well as the fact that three of U-M’s last four games at Indiana have been decided by single digits.

Still, Michigan is the more talented team overall and that will be on display as it was a year ago.

Wisconsin at Michigan (W)

Over the past four years, Michigan and Wisconsin have split, with each team winning both games at home. The Badgers are one of the Big Ten’s elite programs, along with Michigan, but the last two times they’ve gone to the Big House, they have scored just 20 points total.

I’d expect something similar this time around. Wisconsin does have quarterback Jack Coan back but Jonathan Taylor is graduated. The Wisconsin run game is always tough, but the Badgers are usually a good matchup for the Michigan defense and I expect U-M to win by double digits.
