Michigan has been the better team this season, as they have been undefeated in their seven games played and have covered the spread in their last three games. On the flip side, Rutgers has been struggling lately with a 1-4 record in its last 5 games and are 2-6 against the spread in their last 8 games. Michigan has been a beast offensively, scoring 22.7 points per game more than Rutgers and I expect them to dominate this game. Take Michigan and lay the points at home.
