Michigan Football: 5 predictions for second half of the season

Michigan reaches 10 wins

This Michigan team still feels very motivated and so far this season, the Wolverines have been playing with a purpose and playing for each other.

The changes in culture have made a huge difference on the field. The team is playing as one and against Nebraska, instead of their heads dropping and their confidence waning when the Wolverines fell behind, they stiffened their resolve and rallied.

Past Harbaugh teams might not have weathered that storm and pulled out a win in Lincoln. This team did now every goal is still on the table.

And even though I’ll stop short of predicting Michigan to win the Big Ten East or anything like that, I’m comfortable predicting a 10-win season for the Wolverines (bowl game not included).

I don’t see a slip up coming against Northwestern, Indiana, or Maryland and this team is good enough to win at least one of the three big games left on the schedule against Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State.

And with that win, this team will also be back in a New Year’s Six Bowl.

As far as who the 10th win comes against, we’ll get to that on the final page.
