Trap games are against a lowly opponent because the team is looking ahead to a bigger game the following week. Michigan has played back to back top 10 teams and now have 4 games left that includes games against 2 rivals left in the season (including a bye week prior to the MSU game). Within those 4 games, Michigan has two trap games candidates, that start this weekend. To make the trap games even more dangerous, both games are on the road.
Trap #1 - @Maryland this weekend. This team best win came in week 2 against a ranked Syracuse 63-20 but since then has only beaten Rutgers.
