This is a 10* BIG TEN GOW on Michigan.

Both teams are 3-0 straight-up, but Rutgers is 3-0 ATS, while Michigan is 0-3 ATS.

I say that lop-sided stat changes today though as I expect the Wolverines to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish in this one as they look to give the Scarlet Knights a big dose of reality.

Rutgers is off to a 3-0 start for a third straight year after getting the better of VT by a score of 35-16 last weekend.

RB Kyle Manangai had a career-high three TDs, but I believe he'll have a much more difficult time moving the ball today in this hostile road venue.

The Wolverines are off a 31-6 win over Bowling Green. That was the third and final game of Jim Harbough's suspension, so expect the home side to come out extra motivated here to lay a beating on its overmatched opponent.

JJ McCarthy had two TD's last weekend, but also three picks. That's an area of concern, but in the end I just think the pace in which the home side plays with, combined with the smothering defensive play will just be too much for Rutgers to handle down the stretch.

Lay the points, the play is MICHIGAN.

Good luck, NP
