Michigan is supposed to be really good this season, maybe even playoff good, finally. We will get our first look at them against a semi decent opponent.
Middle Tennessee is going through some transition. The coach’s son is no longer the quarterback after what seemed like forever. They are always good in game planning though.
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
Brent Stockstill seemed like he was the quarterback for the last decade. Now he is going to be replaced by Asher O’Hara. How well he does will determine this gaem and the season.

Last year the Blue Raiders scored just one touchdown in each of their Power 5 matchups. Getting above that threshold for this one is a reasonable goal.
To do so the coach Rick Stockstill has to come up with a good game plan. I think he can do it but it might not be enough to keep them really competitive.
The defense was lessa than average last season and not enough has changed to expect much more than that in 2019. Looks for this team to compete though.

Michigan Wolverines
There are high expectations for Big Blue this season. The offense should be better but I am not sure that overall this is a better team than a year ago when the defense was loaded.
Shea Patterson is supposed to be getting a new system that will unlock his potential more. That sounds good in theory but there could be some headaches before they get started.
The defense can’t be as good as it was a year ago, at least not in terms of raw talent….they just lost that much to the NFL. They should still be very good though.
Now is the time for the rubber to meet the road for the Wolverines. They should not be worried about laying an egg against MTU but they might not meet expectations either.

Michigan should get an easy win but there are better values out there on this Week 1 slate in terms of the spread.

I think Michigan is going to want to try out their new offense and basically be unopposed. They should cover this number all on their own.
With that being the case anything the Blue Raiders can add will be gravy. I like a situation like that.
