On Saturday, Michigan will open up their 2019 campaign then they host Middle Tennessee State at The Big House.
The Wolverines have extremely high expectations heading into the season as they are currently listed as the favorite in each and every game on their schedule.

With 13 starters (8 offense, 5 defense) returning, including quarterback Shea Patterson, coupled with the fact that their most difficult games of the season (MSU, OSU, Army, Notre Dame) are all at home, Michigan has as good a chance as any team in the Big Ten to win the conference and advance to the Championship Game in Indianapolis.
According to the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, the Wolverines are currently a 30-point favorite over MTSU. That line was 33.5 on Aug. 18 and has since dropped drastically.
NOTE: If you are planning on betting on Michigan in this game, you can find better point spreads elsewhere, so shop around!
PREDICTION:
Michigan has experience returning on the offensive side of the ball and you can bet DC Don Brown will have the defense ready to dominate after poor showings in their final two games of 2018.
This one will be ugly. Take Michigan minus the points.
Michigan 51 Middle Tennessee State 6
