Michigan Wolverines Chances To Win vs Arkansas State Red Wolves
Week 3 of the college football season brings the Red Wolves from Arkansas State to the Big House for their first ever match-up, the second time in three weeks the Wolverines will play a team they've never played before.
Hailing from the Sun Belt, the Red Wolves finished 6-7 last season and have an over/under of 6.5 wins this season.
The Michigan Wolverines are the defending national champions, of course. No line has yet been set for this game but as my predictive odds tell you, I expect it to lean heavily towards the Wolverines.
Regardless, anything can happen in this beautiful sport. So, I broke down exactly how each team can win this game.
How The Michigan Wolverines Win vs Arkansas State Red Wolves
Michigan will have two games under their belt against Fresno State & Texas, two far superior teams than Arkansas State. Michigan will have hopefully, for their sake, determined their starters, gotten more comfortable under Sherrone Moore as head coach, and Alex Orji should feel at ease as the starting quarterback. After a tough ranked match-up against Texas the week before, Arkansas State should feel a bit more of a breeze.
📈 Strength: Size, speed, home field advantage at Michigan Field.
📉 Weakness: Still adapting to new starters and new head coach. Further, it's sandwiched between a game against Texas and the University of Southern California and Michigan should not get caught looking ahead.
How The Arkansas State Red Wolves Win vs Michigan Wolverines
Arkansas State should be an improved football team from the previous three seasons if they can make some improvement on their defense. They have a solid offense, one that will likely run more than pass, and has some solid football players in the Sun Belt Conference. That will probably not be enough to beat Michigan, but strange things have happened. Arkansas State returns a lot of production this upcoming season and what if they catch Michigan overlooking them?
📈 Strength: Passing attack should be solid behind quarterback Jaylen Raynor, who can also move the ball with his feet.
📉 Weakness: Size and speed against Michigan, especially when the Red Wolves are on defense.
History of Michigan vs Arkansas State
This will be the first meeting between the two programs.
It's one of many Power Four vs. Group of Four non-conference games involving two very different programs. Michigan, of course, has plenty of history and won the national championship a season ago. Arkansas State, on the other hand, has only one season with more than four wins since 2020.
