Michigan has already clinched a playoff berth to face Birmingham, in Birmingham at Protective Stadium. Therefore, Michigan is likely to rest several of its starters as the outcome is irrelevant to their postseason and will give much-needed rest to its squad, which has played for 10 consecutive weeks. However, Michigan should still win. Michigan defeated Houston 30-18 in Week 8 to clinch a playoff berth. Houston is out of the postseason picture and therefore may not play 100% as their season ends Saturday. Final Score Prediction: Michigan Panthers win and cover ATS 30-17.
