It was another sleepy home game at Michigan Stadium today, but the Michigan Wolverines brushed aside a rusty first half to easily defeat Rutgers 31-7 in Jim Harbaugh's return to the sideline.

Per SP+, Virginia Tech is a bit better of a team this season than the 'Cats and so I decided to lean towards the Hokies. Also, the VT ga
