Michigan vs Oregon Prediction 

Michigan comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they will be at home, but they have really not played great in recent weeks. The Wolverines barely got by Rutgers, Penn State, and Northwestern, while picking up a bad loss against Minnesota and a blowout loss to Purdue in their last five games. Oregon has also struggled in their last five games, but they haven’t been as fortunate at the end of games as Michigan has. The Ducks are shooting 46% from the field this year, but their defense has let them down, as they have allowed 77+ points in three straight games. Michigan is shooting over 49% from the field and they should get the win here, but they haven’t won by nine points in their last five games. Take Oregon with the points here.
