The Michigan Wolverines have the talent to blow the doors off here, but I’ve been hesitant about laying big numbers with these teams that have big breaks ahead. It’s easy for Michigan players to be thinking about going home to see their families for the holidays and kind of let up here. This is a much bigger game for the PFW Mastodons, and while they have issues defensively, they do have some underrated offense that can keep them in this. Give me the points.
