This week's viewing guide is up early b/c of Thanksgiving and the loaded slate of Friday games.

It's a supersized version and includes write-ups/predictions of 19 different games, including The Game. It also has my final installment of power rankings.

My Michigan-Maryland column is live. It's a look at last Saturday's game, but it's also largely spun forward to this weekend's edition of The Game. For very good reason.

My Michigan-Northwestern column is live. It'll probably piss some people off. But I'm feeling increasingly better about the game itself the deeper I dig and the more I rewatch it. So here goes nothing:

"On an island of positivity."

Michigan beat Michigan State in football. It was fun. I wrote a lot of words about it.

My Michigan-USC game column is live.

In honor of the Wolverines giving up 31 points to USC -- the most points they've allowed to an unranked team since the COVID season -- I put together 31 takeaways off their forgettable Saturday night performance.

My Michigan-Wisconsin column is live. It's 7,500 words and 10 minutes of audio breaking down Saturday's game. A few really good developments worth a deep dive. But still plenty to be concerned about heading into a huge game vs. USC. Give it a read.
