Fansided: Go with Michigan to cover against Penn State

Josh Yourish writes: "If Sean Clifford has shown anything from what feels like a decade in Happy Valley, it’s that he will absolutely never come through in an important game. Michigan could have stuck with Cade McNamara after he got them to the playoff last year, but they realized that J.J. McCarthy could be special and might elevate them to the next level offensively. That is what Franklin should have done with Will Levis and now needs to do with Drew Allar, because Clifford will never get the Nittany Lions over the hump."

Randy Chambers writes: "The Michigan Wolverines make a case as the best defensive team in college football, and their offense is seventh in scoring offense. There are just levels here, and Michigan is a couple levels above, honestly. I’d need more points to consider the Nittany Lions. Give me the Wolverines by double digits."
