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.
