The Colorado State Rams and Michigan Wolverines open their seasons Saturday at Michigan Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Colorado State vs. Michigan odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Rams kick off the Jay Norvell era Saturday at The Big House. Norvell comes over from Mountain West rival Nevada, and he brings QB Clay Millen and WR Tory Horton with him. The Rams offense should be much more explosive than the 2021 version which averaged just 23.7 PPG.
The Wolverines won the Big Ten Championship Game last season for the first time, as well as making its first-ever trip to the College Football Playoff. Michigan lost a lot of talent to the NFL ranks, but expectations are still very high for head coach Jim Harbaugh’s squad.
This is just the second all-time meeting between these teams. Michigan won the first meeting 24-14 in the 1994 Holiday Bowl in San Diego.
