Wisconsin vs Michigan Prediction

These are two teams that can both run up the score here, and that is going to lead to a higher scoring game. Michigan is averaging 80.9 points while Wisconsin is averaging 85.3 points per game. I expect especially the Michigan defense is going to really struggle and that is going to be the difference here. Both teams are going to go over 80 points here, and the over is going to cash here.
