Scouting report

No play

No recommended play — nothing here clears our bar. If forced to a side, the model leans Michigan -14.5, below our recommendation threshold.

The decider

Rutgers are without Dylan Lonergan at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Michigan's offense meets a Rutgers defense that has been generous; the edge in that matchup belongs to Rutgers. Michigan score 20.3 a game and Rutgers allow 33.3.

The context

Michigan have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference. Turnover margin: Michigan -0.6 a game, Rutgers -1.0.

Situational

Michigan are missing Mason Bonner (TE), Jyaire Hill (CB) — worth a notch of caution.
