The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are the more talented team, but they’ve looked horrible defensively through 4 games, and it’s hard to lay chalk with them with those problems. The Eastern Michigan Eagles also gave Michigan a scare last week, losing by just 5 points at the Little Caesars Arena. I’ll take a stab with the free points here.
