Meanwhile, Rutgers failed to get anything going on offense in a 31-0 loss to Minnesota in Week 9. Quarterbacks Gavin Wimsatt and Noah Vedral each threw an interception and combined for just 86 yards through the air. It was the Scarlet Knights' fourth conference loss across five Big Ten battles.

Michigan vs Rutgers Prediction & Pick

This is a matchup made in heaven for Michigan's defense as Rutgers is averaging just 13.6 points on 266.1 yards per game. Those are each the sixth-worst marks in the entire country. On the other side, the Wolverines are only allowing 11.5 points on 250.3 yards per game. Those are each top-3 marks.

Expecting the Scarlet Knights to suddenly figure out their offensive woes is unrealistic. This is a team that was held to 134 total yards last week and scored less than 11 points for the third time in its last four games. Michigan is 7-0 straight up in its last seven games against Rutgers, so expect a blowout.

Final Score Prediction: Michigan: 35 | Rutgers: 7
