Michigan Wolverines vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights Odds, Lines, Prediction, and Picks- November 5 | 2022 NCAA Regular Season
The undefeated Michigan Wolverines continue to roll through their competition. Michigan throttled the Penn State Nittany Lions and Michigan State Spartans in back-to-back weeks. If fans were not believers in Michigan before, they should be now. The Wolverines have two more challenges at the end of the season as they square off against Illinois and then the big one, Ohio State. Before they get there, the Wolverines have some unfinished business with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Rutgers is .500, but limping into this one following a thumping at the hands of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Can Rutgers pull off one of the upset of the 2022 season?
The betting odds and predictions are below:
$1,000 No Sweat First Bet with FanDuel
J.J. McCarthy has done a tremendous job since taking over under center for the Wolverines. The Wolverines coaching staff doesn't ask much of McCarthy, but don't make the big mistake. McCarthy has thrown ten touchdowns with two interceptions.
The offense runs through the Wolverines' backfield, primarily RB Blake Corum. Corum already has over 1,000 yards rushing this season and continues to churn out 1st downs at an alarming rate. The Wolverines will likely turn to the ground game in this one.
Ronnie Bell is the go-to option on the outside for Michigan. Bell can stretch the field vertically, opening up more room for the Wolverines' running game.
Rutgers will not offer up much opposition on the offensive side of the ball.

Michigan Wolverines vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights Best Pick:
The Wolverines will thoroughly dominate the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday. Blake Corum should have his way behind an impressive Wolverine offensive line.
