Michigan @ Rutgers Prediction, Pick

From FOX Sports Research: 

• Historically, the last time Michigan started 1-3 in Big Ten play during a full season was in 2014, culminating in a disappointing 5-7 record. (They also matched that 1-3 conference record during the shortened 2020 campaign.)
• While Michigan’s defense leads the Big Ten by allowing the fewest yards per game (250.1), their offense has struggled to find a rhythm, averaging the second-fewest yards in the conference (300.6).
• Defensively, there is a stark contrast: Rutgers concedes the most points per game in the conference at 33.3, whereas Michigan boasts the league’s stingiest defense, allowing only 15.7 points per game.

The Pick: Under 46.5
