Why Bet on Michigan?

The Michigan Wolverines are a bubble team for the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines could put quite the stamp on their regular season with an upset win over Wisconsin.

The Wolverines are led in scoring by Derrick Walton Jr. The guard for MIchigan is scoring just shy of 15 points per game. Michigan as a team is scoring 74.6 points per game, and allowing 65.5 per game. The Wolverines are currently tied with the Minnesota Golden Gophers for sixth place in the Big Ten standings.

Betting Pick & Score Prediction

The Wisconsin Badgers had a tough time last week in the home loss to Northwestern. Every team goes through a tough stretch, and this is going to be it for the Badgers.
