Michigan (-33.5) over Middle Tennessee State

Pressure and expectations are high for Jim Harbaugh’s program.  Can he finally guide them to a title?

Put me in the see it to believe it camp, but for this week, the Wolverines should look the part.

I really like Middle Tennessee.  The Blue Raiders have been a model of consistency under Rick Stockstill winning seven or eight games five out of the last six years.  He runs a solid program.

Just not good enough to hang around with Michigan.

Shae Patterson will have a big game throwing for 300 yards and four touchdowns.  The defense will look a little shaky in the first quarter, but should settle in before halftime.

Michigan wins 48-13.
