In this episode, we preview the Michigan football team's season-opening contest against Western Michigan. We discuss some storylines that stood out to us this week, keys to the game and make a series of predictions for the contest.

This week, we begin by taking a look at what players had to say about the trust that Mike Macdonald has built with his players, and the significance of a culture change. We also take a look at what Cade McNamara brings as a starting quarterback that past Michigan quarterbacks haven't brought.

We then look at keys to the game for Michigan, including what would need to happen for week one to be considered a success, and how the Wolverines can avoid an upset early on.

We close with our typical format for predictions, doing some prop bets, identifying our picks for MVP and player on the spot, as well as making out final score prediction.
