WASHINGTON @ MICHIGAN | 09/11 | 8:00 PM EDT
MICHIGAN -6
ANALYSIS: I'm going to bet this game now in case it rises to Wolverines -7. We don't want to overreact too much to Week 1, but Washington was completely inept offensively in a shocking home loss to FCS school Montana and apparently will not change QBs. The Huskies played without their top three receivers and from what I'm reading, it's more likely than not they miss this game, too. A fourth WR suffered a major injury early vs. Montana and is out. UW's best defender, Zion Tupuola-Fetui, remains out. Michigan did lose top wideout Ronnie Bell for the season in its Week 1 win over Western Michigan, but the Wolverines still should have enough at home to prevail here by at least a TD (expect a defensive battle). The Huskies are 1-8 ATS in their past nine as dogs.
SOUTH CAROLINA @ EAST CAROLINA | 09/11 | 12:00 PM EDT
SOUTH CAROLINA +2
ANALYSIS: This line has been all over the place already and I have to say that I'm surprised the Gamecocks are underdogs. East Carolina isn't too bad but didn't look great in a Week 1 loss at Appalachian State. USC trounced Eastern Illinois without three key players: QB Luke Doty, running back Kevin Harris and safety R.J. Roderick. All three are expected for this one. It's the first matchup between the two programs since 2016.
