In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview the Michigan football team’s Big Ten opener against Rutgers. They look at both sides of the ball, what the Wolverines can do to assure victory and make both prop bet predictions and their final score predictions for the game.

They open with a look at Michigan’s offense, and how it can crack Rutgers’ defense after the Scarlet Knights fared well against the Wolverines the last two seasons. They look at the importance of scoring when points are available, JJ McCarthy bouncing back, spreading the ball around more and getting Donovan Edwards into a rhythm. 

In the second half of the episode, they look at the biggest keys — with one standing out well above the rest — for Michigan’s defense. They discuss the value of making Rutgers one-dimensional, a secondary returning to full health and why this may be a good test for Michigan’s tackling. They close with their final thoughts and score predictions for the game.
