The Michigan Wolverines will host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday afternoon in Week 9. Here is how to watch this Big Ten East rivalry game online.
It’s already Week 9 of the 2017 college football season. One game that will be going on Saturday afternoon in the Big Ten will be between the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-4) and the Michigan Wolverines (5-2).
Kickoff from Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor will be at 12:00 p.m. ET on Oct. 28. The Big Ten Network will have the telecast. The available live streams for this game can be found on BTN2GO and on FuboTV.
Rutgers enters play at 3-4 on the year and 2-2 in Big Ten play. Chris Ash’s team might have two conference wins already, but those were to the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Purdue Boilermakers. The rest of the way, Rutgers has to play Big Ten East Division rivals. Not sure there are even three wins there for the Scarlet Knights to become bowl eligible.
Michigan stumbled again last week, as the Wolverines fell to the division rival Penn State Nittany Lions. Two losses in the last three weeks to division rivals Penn State and the Michigan State Spartans have the Wolverines out of the top-25 at 5-2 on the season. While Michigan should achieve bowl eligibility on Saturday afternoon over Rutgers, when is this team truly going to pop under head coach Jim Harbaugh?

Michigan should be an overwhelming favorite in this game. That being said, there is a chance that Rutgers could be in play to make a backdoor cover. No, Rutgers isn’t going to win this game, but it’s not like Michigan is a world beater offensively. Not sure the Wolverines should be laying more than three touchdowns to most Power 5 teams at this point of their season.
