3. Michigan (-7) vs. Washington
I haven’t been this confident in a formerly perceived toss-up game in a long time, but I truly think Michigan is going to handle Washington with relative easy this weekend.
Michigan is coming off a 47-14 win over Western Michigan, pulling away after the game was tied 7-7 and the offense looked really good along the way. The defense stepped up, too, and really settled down after the game was knotted up early on. This new-look Michigan team might just the confidence to make a surprise run in 2021.
This is the perfect game for Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines to prove themselves and they have a chance to kick the Washington Huskies while they’re down.
In fact, Washington is coming off a shocking loss to Montana in Week 1. If the Huskies win that one like they should have, this game is much tougher to predict and they’re still ranked, but I am just not sold on the Huskies, especially after faltering against an FCS squad.
Michigan is licking its chops and this one won’t be close.
