Michigan Football vs Western Michigan: Injury report, live Stream, TV channel and betting preview

Michigan football hosts Western Michigan on Saturday in the first game of the 2021 season. Here’s everything you need to know.

The wait is over. At least it will be in a few hours when the Michigan football team takes the field for the first time in the 2021 season.

The Western Michigan Broncos will be awaiting them and with a talented quarterback, as well as a veteran roster, the MAC team won’t be a pushover.

Cade McNamara will be starting the game for Michigan football at quarterback and while it is his second-career start in the Big House, I’m eager to see what he does and if we’ll see freshman J.J. McCarthy. If the good guys do well, it’s very likely.

Here’s a look at all your key info for Saturday’s game:

 Michigan football vs Western Michigan Odds and Betting Pick Week 1

WynnBET’s Week 1 odds for Michigan football and Western Michigan make the Wolverines a 17-point favorite heading into the opener for both teams. The over/under in this matchup is 65.

Breaking down this matchup this is a game the Wolverines should win. Western Michigan has some talent, especially at the quarterback position in Kaleb Eleby and at receiver which could be an issue for U-M.

We all remember how the pass defense struggled in 2020 and many of the same faces return. But the defense is also healthy and is running a new system that shouldn’t be so predictable.

Offensively, Michigan just has too many athletes and at some point, they will take over. It will be tight for a little while though although we predict a 38-17 Michigan win.
