Michigan at Ohio State picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 77, Michigan 65

Moneyline

PASS.

Ohio State (-690) should come away with the win, especially since I don’t see a team as bad as this Michigan squad sweeping the Buckeyes this season. Ohio State is not worth the risk of betting on as such a heavy favorite. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN OHIO STATE -10.5 (-120).

Ohio State has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games. The Buckeyes have covered the spread in each of their last 4 wins vs. Michigan, so if you like them to win, you should also back them to cover ATS.

This is only a lean because the Wolverines have been good ATS in recent matchups vs. Ohio State.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 143.5 (-110). 

The Under has hit in 3 of Michigan’s last 4 games overall and is 7-3 for the Wolverines in their last 10. For Ohio State, the Under is 3-2 in its last 5 games. The Under also hit in the last meeting and is 3-2 in the last 5 matchups.

Michigan at Michigan State odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) and Michigan State (2-4, 0-3) meet Saturday at Spartan Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan vs. Michigan State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Wolverines moved to 4-0 in the Big Ten with a dominant 52-7 home victory over the Indiana Hoosiers last Saturday, easily covering the 31.5-point spread while the Over (45.5) cashed. The cover was their 3rd straight against the spread (ATS) and improved Michigan to 3-3-1 ATS on the year.

Michigan State suffered its 4th straight loss last Saturday, 27-24 against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, but did cover the 4-point spread. The Spartans are last in the Big Ten East and their only 2 wins have come against non-Power 5 schools.

Michigan at Michigan State picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 38, Michigan State 17

Moneyline

Michigan (-3000) should have no problems with their in-state rivals on Saturday, but no way should you ever bet $3000 to win $100.

AVOID.

Against the spread

BET MICHIGAN STATE +24.5 (-110).

While Michigan is the far superior team, in a game like this against their arch rival on the road it cud be closer. The Wolverines have failed to cover against the Spartans in 2 of their last 3 meetings.

Over/Under

BET OVER 46.5 (-115).

Michigan has averaged nearly 50 points per game over their last 3 games. So, they could easily cover this line by themselves. The Spartans have allowed at least 26 points in each of their last 4 games.

In their last 4 meetings, these teams have gone Over this point total in 3 of them.

Indiana at Michigan odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Indiana at Michigan odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Indiana Hoosiers (2-3, 0-2 Big Ten) face the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (6-0, 3-0) in Week 7 of the college football season. Kickoff Saturday at Michigan Stadium is scheduled for noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Indiana vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Hoosiers are coming off a bye week following a 44-17 loss to Maryland in Week 5 in which they failed to cover as 14-point underdogs on the road. The Over of 49.5 points cleared in the defeat to Maryland, and Indiana has alternated wins and losses in its 1st 5 games.

The Wolverines covered as 19-point road favorites in their 52-10 victory over Minnesota in Week 6 and the Over of 45.5 points hit. Michigan is the No. 2 ranked team in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports

Indiana at Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 44, Indiana 7

Moneyline

There aren’t many sportsbooks that will have a moneyline available for this game due to the massive spread in favor of the Wolverines. But you can go ahead and AVOID any moneyline you might find.

Against the spread

MICHIGAN -33.5 (-110) is the play despite this being such a large spread. The Wolverines have scored 30-plus points in each of their 6 games, while also allowing 10 or fewer points in each of those games.

After going 0-4 ATS to begin the season, Michigan has gone 2-0-1 ATS in its last 3 games.

Over/Under

While Indiana could have issues scoring on Saturday, OVER 45.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this matchup. RB Blake Corum should have success for Michigan against an Indiana defense that is giving up 156.4 rushing yards per game.

The Wolverines have hit the Over in back-to-back games and they will do plenty of the heavy lifting themselves against the Hoosiers.

Michigan at Minnesota odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Michigan at Minnesota odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Michigan Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) and the Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-2, 1-1) meet Saturday at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC/Peacock). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan vs. Minnesota odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Wolverines have not only rolled up 5 victories in 5 tries, but all of the victories this season have been by 24 or more points, with the closest game coming in a 31-7 victory over Rutgers on Sept. 23. After opening 0-3 against the spread (ATS) in 3 non-conference games, Michigan is 1-0-1 ATS at most shops in 2 Big Ten battles.

The Over (40) cashed last time out in a 45-7 win at Nebraska last Saturday, its 1st Over in 5 games. The Wolverines defense has been ridiculous so far, yielding 7 or fewer points in each outing, good for an average of just 6.0 points per game (PPG) allowed.

The Golden Gophers have lost 9 of the past 10 meetings in this series since  2006, and Michigan is 42-4 straight up (SU) in the past 46 meetings dating back to 1968. And the Gophers haven’t beaten the Wolverines in the Twin Cities since 1977, as its past 3 wins have been at “The Big House.”

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Michigan at Minnesota picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 38, Minnesota 7

Moneyline

Michigan (-1400) will cost you 14 times your potential return, and that’s just way too much risk for not enough reward, especially for a conference game.

Despite the mastery of the Wolverines in this series for several decades, you simply cannot risk $100 for every $6.25 won. That’s a ridiculous return, and not a good long-term betting strategy.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

MICHIGAN -18.5 (-110) has won all 5 games by 24 or more points this season, while allowing 7 or fewer points. It’s hard to bet against that kind of dominance, especially against a Minnesota +19.5 (-110) team which is just 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS in 3 games against Power 5 conference opponents this season.

The Gophers were on the short end of a 31-13 score at North Carolina on Sept. 16, the only ranked team it has faced to date. Expect a much better Michigan team to bring much more offense and defense into this contest.

Over/Under

UNDER 46 (-110) is the lean in this conference battle, but go very lightly.

The bet on the Under is due to Michigan’s amazing defensive effort, allowing just 6.0 PPG in 5 outings. The danger is Michigan’s offense, which has rolled up 30 or more points in all 5 games, including a 45-point performance in Nebraska last week. It showed it can easily torpedo Under bettors all on its own, even as the defense does its thing.

The No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) and Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-2, 0-1) tussle Saturday in a Big Ten battle in Lincoln, Neb. Kickoff time at Memorial Stadium is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan vs. Nebraska odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Michigan is No. 2 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Wolverines defeated Rutgers 31-7 as 24-point favorites last Saturday. All 4 of Michigan’s games have seen the team score between 30-35 points while allowing a single-digit number, but it has yet to cover the spread in any contest.

Nebraska failed to cover as a 20-point favorite last week, defeating Louisiana Tech 28-14. The Cornhuskers won despite passing for just 107 yards and going 3-of-11 in converting 3rd downs.

Michigan at Nebraska picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 28, Nebraska 10

Moneyline

Out of bounds on both ends: PASS.

Against the spread

The Wolverines have won 3 consecutive meetings straight up and are 2-0-1 ATS in 3 games since 2018.

But peg the pace and maybe weather conditions making for a final margin very close to what’s listed here. PASS.

Over/Under

Nine of the last 12 Nebraska games have hit the Under and 9 of the last 14 Michigan games have done likewise.

The ‘Huskers have become the Big Ten’s service academy, piling up more-than-a-2-to-1 run-to-pass ratio on play calls so far. UM has been quite good against the rush (2.8 yards per attempt), so don’t look for UN to bust loose on the ground. However, the Cornhuskers won’t gain much of anything by going to the air even down 3 scores.

The Wolverines rank 127th in plays per game (57.8); the only reason Nebraska ranks higher (97th) is that it trails more often. If you look at the game flow in UM’s last 2 games, the Wolverines could have easily been held to fewer than 30 points in each,

Last year’s UM-UN game (Nov. 12) was lined at 50.5 points. The Under hit with a 34-3 Michigan win. On what is forecasted as a hot, windy afternoon in Lincoln, look for something similar Saturday.

BACK THE UNDER 39.5 (-110).

Rutgers at Michigan odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Rutgers at Michigan odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) visit the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (3-0, 0-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Michigan Stadium is set for noon ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rutgers vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rutgers continued its hot start to the season with a 35-16 win over Virginia Tech as a 6.5-point underdog last Saturday. The Scarlet Knights have been a very balanced offense to start the season. QB Gavin Wimsatt has completed 51.5% (34-of-66) of his passes for 407 yards and 3 TDs while RB Kyle Monangai has rushed for 357 yards and 5 TDs on 58 carries.

Michigan has also looked dominant again in Week 3 action, clobbering Blowing Green 31-6 but failing to cover as a 41-point favorite. The Wolverines have scored 30 or more points while allowing 7 or fewer points in 3 start games to start the year.

QB J.J. McCarthy looked a bit rough against Bowling Green, completing 8 of his 13 passes for 143 yards for 2 TDs against 3 INTs. However, Michigan’s run game and defense were stellar in the win as the RB duo of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards combined for 151 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries.

Michigan is No. 2 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Rutgers at Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 35, Rutgers 7

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Wolverines to cover here as they have won their last 8 straight vs. Rutgers, but -3000 favorites are not worth the risk. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN MICHIGAN -24 (-110).

The Wolverines have dominated the Scarlet Knights lately, and I expect that to continue here. Coach Jim Harbaugh to the sidelines after serving a 3-game suspension so I expect the Wolverines to look even more dominant than they have in the previous 3 weeks. Michigan has won 5 of its last 8 vs. Rutgers by more than 24 points, and this year will likely be no different.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-115).

Michigan has been dominant defensively, only allowing 16 points through 3 games, and I don’t expect this contest to be any different. Rutgers has scored 24 points in all 3 games to start the year, but that should come to an end here. I could see the Wolverines’ offense carrying this game to the Over, but as they haven’t yet scored over 35 I don’t think it will happen Saturday.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Bowling Green Falcons (1-1) and No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (2-0) clash Saturday. Kickoff at Michigan Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bowling Green vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Bowling Green defeated FCS Eastern Illinois 38-15 last Saturday, covering as a 15.5-point favorite. The Falcons’ passing game chimed in with 509 yards after faltering with 5 interceptions in a season-opening 34-24 loss at Liberty the prior week. BGSU is 0-2 all-time vs. Michigan and 9-21 against current Big Ten programs.

Bowling Green at Michigan picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan 49, Bowling Green 7

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publication but would not be worth pursuing even if it were released.

Against the spread

Michigan did not cover last week but 4 of its 5 touchdown drives were 75 yards or longer. The Wolverines dominated the UNLV Rebels in every aspect of the game and more than doubled up UNLV in total yardage.

Look for UM to bottle up Bowling Green and come away with a big field-position edge in this match-up. Look for a lot of running from the Wolverines, a lot of play-action and a lot of explosive plays. Seven TDs for UM should not be a stretch and a near-shut-out defensively shouldn’t be, either.

TAKE MICHIGAN -40.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This total has jumped a couple of points during the week. The 1-side nature of this one and the relative slow pace of each offense make the current figure tough to argue. PASS.
