Michigan

Yes, Michigan has been largely predicted to be the best all around team in the Big Ten this season, but, this feels like a game that Indiana always seems to hang around in, and maybe this year they’ll actually put it all together and win it.

The Hoosiers have been playing Jim Harbaugh and Michigan tough ever since he took the job and two years ago Indiana took Michigan to overtime at Memorial Stadium and had multiple opportunities to win the game.

It’s definitely possible that Michigan walks into Bloomington focused on the game a week ahead against Ohio State as well as banged up from the week prior against Michigan State, and allows IU to hang around deep into the game.

If that’s the case, there’ll be a chance for the Hoosiers to pull off one of the biggest upsets in program history.
