Saturday is upon us once again. It is time for me to make my
picks for the Michigan
and MSU contests. Here is my best shot.
MSU vs. Iowa
One of the big factors in this game appears to be weather. With
the Spartans playing on grass, rain could provide some tough conditions. Both
teams want to run the ball, but the Spartans have the better passing attack of
the two. With the MSU O-line struggling to open up running lanes, a sloppy
field could make it even harder for the Spartans to move the ball. I do expect
the MSU defense to keep Iowa
in check, but I expect this to be another grinder for the Spartans. Iowa is a team that
plays its opponents close, so I suspect the game will come down to the end,
with MSU finding a way to get the victory.
The rain shouldn’t be as much of an issue in this game
because Michigan
plays on fieldturf. It will likely cause some problems passing the ball, but
running shouldn’t be a problem. Look for Denard Robinson to once again run wild
and go for more than 150 yards on the ground. He will also connect on some big
passes from blown assignments by the Illini. On defense, Michigan
will keep Illinois
quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase in containment and not allow him to beat them
with his legs. I see Michigan
winning comfortably, but not totally blowing the Illini out of the water.
