  "account": "The Western Michigan Broncos are coming off a MAC championship season, and their experience and makeup could give the Michigan Wolverines a tough battle in their opener. Western Michigan has won four of its last five openers, all against Big Ten teams. Michigan, on the other hand, has won its last seven season openers and nine of the last ten. The Wolverines will rely on their returning starters to dominate the offensive front while quarterback Bryce Underwood leads the way. Western Michigan's defense might be strong, but it's the Wolverines' offense that's loaded with talent. Michigan will aim to win without taking too many chances, securing a 38-10 victory over Western Michigan.",
  "summary": "Michigan wants to get off to a hot start under Kyle Whittingham, but Western Michigan is dangerous enough to screw this up. Here's the CFN preview and prediction.",
