Michigan and
Michigan State each have big games today. Here
are my picks for both contests.
Michigan at Nebraska
Nebraska
is a very good team at home and not so strong on the road. Unfortunately for Michigan, the Wolverines have to face the Cornhuskers in Lincoln. If Michigan is to win this
game, I see it having to grind out the victory in a relatively high-scoring contest.
Michigan should be able to move the ball
consistently on offense but I do see Nebraska
picking up some big plays on the Wolverines’ defense. I don’t necessarily feel
good about this pick, but I do feel Michigan
will get the victory. I see Denard Robinson having a big day on the ground and
hitting enough passes to keep the Wolverines ahead. I also feel that Brady Hoke
is a better coach than Bo Pelini, which gives Michigan a slight edge, even on the road.
Michigan 34, Nebraska

MSU at Wisconsin
I think Michigan
State can win this game,
but I don’t think the Spartans will win this game. The Badgers aren’t the same
team they were a year ago, but neither is MSU. I think the offensive struggles
will continue, mainly due to the offensive line issues. Wisconsin won’t light up the scoreboard, but
I do think the Badgers have started to gel enough to put some scoring drives together.
It won’t take many points to beat the Spartans on Saturday and I expect Wisconsin to be
motivated to pick up a win over MSU in the regular season after losing at
Spartan Stadium the last two years.
Wisconsin 20, Michigan State 13
