Michigan at Notre Dame

More from Ohio State Football

The game of the week for the Big Ten.  I am not buying that it is a must win for both teams, but it is important.

Jim Harbaugh can ill afford to start his fourth season with a loss.  He has a mobile quarterback and a Top Five defense.

This is the year for him to deliver payoff to the Wolverine faithful.

A loss by Notre Dame means Michigan would need to run the table to make it to their first College Football Playoff invitational.  Possible, but unlikely.

This will be a low-scoring game decided by turnovers.  I think that favors the Wolverines.  Michigan wins 21-17.

There you have it, my Big Ten picks for Game 1.
