Since the days of Bo Schembechler, Michigan hasn’t looked this tough. Current head coach Jim Harbaugh played for Bo. He revers Schembechler for the Hall of Fame legend that he was. Michigan easily ranks within the top-10 nationally for the fewest passes attempted. And that is how Schembechler would have wanted it. Most important of all, the Wolverines are playing a tough-as-nails style that takes the Maize and Blue faithful back. This Saturday, Michigan matches up with the bruising Badgers at Wisconsin. This College Football betting matchup is not for squeamish as the pads will be popping.

Michigan Wolverines at Wisconsin Badgers SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, Michigan will draw the most sports betting support. Cause by their massive brand, current form, and Wisconsin’s struggles.
Michigan Wolverines Team Overview
Michigan got past pesky Rutgers 20-13 as 20-point home chalk. And then the Scarlet Knights and Wolverines went under the total of 50. As a result, Michigan is 4-0 straight up, 3-1 against the spread, and 1-3 over/under. The Maize and Blue rank 33rd for total offense and 17th scoring offense. While defensively, Michigan ranks 32nd overall and 4th for points allowed.
Hassan Haskins ran for touchdowns the first two times the Wolverines had the ball to help them take a 17-point lead. However, the undefeated M team had to hold on to the victory. Haskins ran for just 41 yards on 12 carries. McNamara was 9 of 16 for 163 yards passing for the Wolverines. Of great concern was that he missed some open receivers.
Wisconsin Badgers Team Overview
Last week, Wisconsin lost to Notre Dame in Chicago 20-13 as 6-point favorites. Over the total of 43.5 paid as well. Wisconsin is 1-2 straight up, 1-2 against the spread, and 1-2 over/under. Overall, UW ranks 68th for total offense and 114th for scoring offense. Defensively, the Badgers rank 2nd overall and 56th for points allowed.
Graham Mertz threw four interceptions for Wisconsin. Including two that were returned for touchdowns in the final 2:30 to blow the game open. Notre Dame scored the final 31 points. Mertz threw his first touchdown pass of the season. But he was otherwise ineffective. To illuminate, Mertz was 18 for 41 for 240 yards. Of great concern is the utter ineffectiveness of the Wisconsin ground game.
