Prediction: I
expected Penn State to be a little better this season than they were last, and
while they have more talent, the results aren’t any better. The Nittany Lions
are off to an 0-4 start in Big Ten play. They have been competitive in some of
the games, but not finding the winning formula. On the flip side, Michigan
would have excuses for losing some conference games based on the injury
situation, but the Wolverines have found a way to start 3-0. Granted, Michigan
hasn’t had the toughest conference schedule as of yet, but the Wolverines are
finding ways to win. With this game being at home, Michigan should pick up
another win. I don’t know that I would feel good giving 13 points to the
Nittany Lions, but look for Michigan to outscore Penn State. Michigan will need
to show some better defense than it had at Nebraska, and I think it will. Michigan 74, Penn State 66
