Michigan football is undefeated entering Week 4, but so, too, is the typically not-great Rutgers team that’s coming to Ann Arbor. The Scarlet Knights are 3-0 and playing really good football on both sides of the ball.
The game starts at noon EDT and can be seen on Big Ten Network.

Last week, the Wolverines won emphatically, and kind of dramatically, having turned the ball over four times before getting three of their own in the game against Bowling Green. Still, the maize and blue won by 25 points — which, if you’re keeping score, is less than the spread had the maize and blue for the third straight week.
Rutgers comes to town flying high, yet Michigan is still a three-to-four-score favorite over the Scarlet Knights.
- Point spread: Michigan -24
- Money line: Michigan -3000, Rutgers +1200
- Over-under: 44.5
Bowling Green Falcons at Michigan Wolverines injury report:

Out:
- Amorion Walker
- Darrius Clemons
- Rod Moore

Advice and prediction
Michigan has not covered in each of the last three weeks, but with Jim Harbaugh back on the sidelines once again, we’re taking the Wolverines in this one, plus the points. Barely.
Prediction: Michigan 35, Rutgers 10
