Michigan football plays Minnesota tonight. Here are some final thoughts, as well as a look at the injury report, the odds, and how to watch. 

It’s Michigan football Gameday! The Michigan Wolverines will take on Minnesota on Saturday night in search of their 18th consecutive Big Ten win.

Michigan football looked like a national title contender in its 45-7 win over Nebraska. The Huskers beat Illinois on the road last night, which tells you that team isn’t a pushover. But still, you wonder if the Wolverines will be as sharp on Saturday night.

Minnesota is a tough, physical team. The crowd will be loud and it’s expected to be a sellout. Big Ten games aren’t easy to win on the road, so even though Michigan football has made it look easy at times, don’t be surprised if it’s a competitive game.

Michigan does have lots of advantages though, especially at quarterback with J.J. McCarthy. The Wolverines running game and their run defense should also be difference-makers.

However, you can’t look past anyone in the Big Ten. With that in mind, here’s the weather report, the final odds, and more for Michigan football vs. Minnesota.
