Michigan vs Wisconsin Prediction
Michigan is the better team and should be favored, but this line is thick for a Wolverines team that’s played games close to the vest and has had issues putting games away. Wisconsin is extremely limited offensively, but it’s a well coached team that doesn’t get blown out often and has the best run defense in the country.
Bryce Underwood is still a young quarterback who is working his way into the mix and hasn’t had much success through the air. If Wisconsin continues to stop the run, it could force Underwood to make plays, and we haven’t quite seen that yet. Wisconsin has also had an extra week to prepare, which could fix some of the issues on offense. I’ll take a shot with the points.
