## Resource

Michigan football might be flying under the radar this season, but analyst JD PicKell sees a sleeper giant in the making. He’s bullish on quarterback Bryce Underwood’s potential under new OC Jason Beck, envisioning an offense that maximizes Underwood’s instincts with RPOs and deep shots. PicKell also praises Michigan’s signature “boa constrictor” defense — the same physical, suffocating style that powered their past Big Ten titles and national championship. With key portal additions and a roster primed to grow into its talent, he likens the team to a lanky middle schooler suddenly becoming coordinated and athletic. PicKell’s message? Michigan is being underestimated — and that could be a costly mistake for the rest of the league. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
