TV Schedule: Saturday, Nov. 21, 12:00 p.m. ET, ABC
Stadium: Beaver Stadium
Line: Michigan (-3.5)
The Michigan Wolverines might enter this contest with the ranking and more to play for when it comes to the Big 10 championship game, but the Penn State Nittany Lions are playing for pride and to move up to a better bowl during bowl season.
Michigan enters this one with just two losses. The Wolverines are very fortunate, though, because they could have very easily lost to the Indiana Hoosiers last week.
Penn State has lost three games in 2015, it is coming off of a loss against the Northwestern Wildcats and it hasn’t been getting much national attention at all.

Being played at Beaver Stadium, fans should expect a closer-than-expected battle. Although future NFLer Christian Hackenberg hasn’t been in contention for the Heisman in 2015, he still has the skills to put some serious pain on opposing defenses. That said, Michigan has one of the best defenses in the country, and has three shutouts to prove it.
If the Wolverines get past this trap game, which is actually a really tough trap game, it will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes with all of the momentum in the Big 10 world. Assuming Ohio State takes down the Michigan State Spartans this weekend, the winner of the Michigan vs. Ohio State battle will decide who makes the conference title game, and if the Buckeyes will partake in the playoff once again.
The Nittany Lions’ last game of the regular season won’t be any easier, as they get the Spartans.
If you are a fan of Big 10 football (or college football in general), this should be the best time of the year for you and your eyes.
PREDICTION: Wolverines 27, Nittany Lions 24
