ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m staying with Michigan. The Wolverines posted a nice balanced attack in the win over Rutgers and made very few mistakes. Michigan finished with 415 yards total (201 rushing), 6.8 yards per play, 8-of-13 on third downs, three penalties (18 yards) and zero turnovers in a very good effort. That makes 30 or more points in each game so far this year. Moving away from home may be a little jarring after the comfortable start, but the Wolverines have more than enough talent to get it done here. Barring a Wolverines breakdown, Nebraska likely won’t be able to keep pace for long.
