#14 Michigan versus Wisconsin Final Betting Prediction
Wisconsin is a -2 chalk because this game happens in Madison. If it happened in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines could be 6 to 7 point favorites.
Anyway we cut it, Michigan is the better team. Wisconsin has some talent on both sides of the ball, but they sorely lack quality quarterback play. The Badgers are like a baseball team with a top hitting lineup but an ace pitcher with a 6.2 ERA.
Graham Mertz has thrown 1 TD and 6 interceptions. He’s completing less than 57% of his passes. The Badgers rush the ball well, but Michigan allows just 11.8 points per.
More impressively, Jim Harbaugh’s team can adjust. Holding Rutgers to 13 points is a huge accomplishment. Wisconsin is a program in disarray. Harbaugh and the Wolverines will take advantage.
