The season opener is finally here as the Michigan Wolverines hit the field this afternoon to take on the East Carolina Pirates. The Wolverines are ranked No. 2 in the preseason AP Poll and a favorite to make it back to the College Football Playoff.
They come in as a 36-point favorite against the Pirates, but we have seen the Wolverines lose as a bigger favorite before. Granted that was two decades ago, but it has happened. This team is much more prepared to keep that from happening, but they still need to be ready to play.
