The Michigan Wolverines have been far from a safe play at The Big House during November, as the team is 4-12 ATS in their past 16 home games during the month. Michigan will play host to the faltering Rutgers Scarlet Knights this weekend.
- Rutgers is 2-5 ATS in their past seven games following back-to-back losses.
- Michigan is 7-2 ATS in their past nine following consecutive ATS losses.
- Michigan allowed 402 passing yards last year against Rutgers.
It will be important to watch the status of Michigan quarterback Jake Rudock who left the third quarter of last week’s victory with an apparent upper body injury. Redshirt freshman Wilton Speight came in at quarterback and despite only completing three of his six passes, he did throw the game-winning touchdown.
If there were illusions about Rutgers being better than their record, the past two games obliterated that. The Scarlet Knights have lost their past two games by a combined score of 97-17.
