Arkansas State vs. Michigan Best bets: Odds, expert predictions, player news and stats for Saturday Afternoon

After getting waxed by the Texas Longhorns, the Michigan Wolverines (1-1) look to bounce back Saturday at Noon at The Big House against Arkansas State Sea Wolves (2-0).

Three turnovers by the Wolverines in conjunction with a statement game from Longhorns’ QB Quinn Ewers and Sherrone Moore’s club needs an Arkansas State to get the train back on the tracks in Ann Arbor.

Michigan is sticking with Davis Warren under center. The senior signal-caller has been ineffective through the first two games of the season. He should find more solid footing against the Red Wolves whose defense ranks in the bottom tenth of college football.

Expect a heavy dose of ground and pound should Warren wobble at all trying to move the Wolverines down the field through the air. With the Big Ten season knocking on the door, this needs to be a get right game for the Wolverines on both sides of the ball.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) is expecting the Wolverines’ defense to bounce back against the Red Wolves Saturday:
“I’m taking the Arkansas State Team Total UNDER when they visit The Big House and the Michigan Wolverines. I know Michigan was actually torched by Quinn Ewers, who’s now the Heisman favorite, and the Texas Longhorns, but I think that defense will resemble what they looked like in Week 1, when they held Fresno State to 10 points. I like the Team Total UNDER for Arkansas State.”
