At 3:30 ET, my Big Ten GOY is on Michigan. The Wolverines' loss to Texas really put a bad taste in a lot of bettors' mouths about Michigan. Many wrote them off as a bad team after that loss. That's not really fair though. The Longhorns are very powerful this season and the Wolverines have a lot of new players and a new coach. The Wolverines had beaten Fresno State by 20 the previous week, when laying 20.5. Last week, they shook off the Texas loss by defeating Arkansas State by 10. Now, they get to reset and start Big Ten play. USC has been playing well but the defense is still nowhere near the level of the Texas defense. The Wolverines are going to have a much easier time moving the ball against the Trojans than they had against the Longhorns. The new players and coach have had a chance to play together and last week's bounce-back victory will help bring them together. The run-defense was dominant. This is the first true road game for USC. LSU was a good team but the Trojans haven't faced a defense like this one. In a game which will likely be close, the Wolverines' superior defense will ultimately win the day. Play on Michigan
