Shane’s Free Pick

Playing away from home this season for Michigan has been an issue, and it’s going to be an issue again in this game. Even though Michigan won the last game, their defense struggled and it’s going to let them down again in this game. Vanderbilt’s offense is going to be too much here and they are going to cover the spread.
