Oct 1. 5. Pick Analysis. Iowa City, IA. Iowa Hawkeyes. player. 878. Scouting Report

For their first road game of the season, Michigan is going to travel to Iowa for a rematch of the Big Ten Championship game. Michigan destroyed Iowa in that game and is going to be looking for some revenge. Iowa City has been a tough place for Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines to earn a victory. The Hawkeyes are going to have their eyes on this game, as it will be a chance for revenge and to earn a signature victory.

Expect this to be a much closer game than the Big Ten Championship turned out to be. Iowa is once again going to have a sound defense and can make life tough for the Wolverines offense. The big question will be whether Iowa has enough offense to get a win. This time they will and once again, Iowa will upset Michigan at home.

Final Score: Michigan 20, Iowa 23 (4-1, 1-1)

Oct 8. Indiana Hoosiers. player. 813. Pick Analysis. 6. Scouting Report. Bloomington, IN

After suffering their first loss of the season on the road to Iowa, Michigan football is going to have to hit the road again. This time though, it will be too a less intimidating environment. Indiana had a disappointing season after appearing to have a breakthrough season in 2020. The Hoosiers were terrible for most of the season and will be looking for a bounce-back season.

However, it is not going to be good for Indiana to be facing an angry Michigan team that will be coming off of its first loss. The Wolverines will get back in the victory column by getting a win on the road in Bloomington.

Final Score: Michigan 38, Indiana 17 (5-1, 2-1)
