THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-MICHIGAN PREDICTION THREAD

RU 49
Michigan 27

Biggest upset of the year and possibly in a decade. 25k actual Rutgers fans in attendance, but by the next day 50k say they were there.

Michigan: 63

Honestly hate making a prediction like that, and I'd love to be 100% wrong. But this is the #5 team in the country we're going up against, and RU struggles to even get 1st downs consistently, (let alone TD's), so even keeping the game close is going to be a tall order. -One that, unfortunately, I don't believe the Knights will be able to fill.
 
I just saw on BTN that Mich Def is holding opponents to a 33% completion percentage the last three games. Ouch.

I'm going to be very optimistic and say 49-10.
 
91-3 Michigan.

A ton of fight and buy-in in the 4th quarter. Defense stops one drive so it has improved. If Gio had started it would have been 77-14 and We could be proud .
 
35-13 or something similar.

Michigan goes super vanilla because their very good Backup QB broke his collar bone last week, so they’ll look to protect Shea Patterson until the OSU game.

Michigan runs the ball, a lot. Rutgers contains it, for a bit. Michigan wears down RU mid 2nd half and can’t move the hall against Michigan D.

The last three games we were 37 of 87 for a 42.5% completion percentage. Maybe our ineptitude will help neutralize Michigan's advantage in passing defense.
 
The biggest question isn't the score, it's which team will have more fans at the game. I'm predicting Mich 11,500 RU 10,000. And yes, I will be there.
