Michigan vs Rutgers Prediction

Give me Michigan here. Rutgers is coming off a win here, but I am still not sold on them being very good. Michigan is averaging 83.2 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Rutgers offense isn’t going to be good enough here and Michigan is going to end up pulling away. Look for Michigan to score at least 75 points and they will end up cruising to a victory here.
