Badgers picked as double-digit favorite vs. Michigan
Published:
Next Saturday, College GameDay is making the trip to Madison for a B1G cross-division showdown between Michigan and Wisconsin. On a relatively mundane week, it will be the premier game.
But It may not be quite as entertaining as what most people are expecting. At least, that’s the case if you listen to Vegas.
Wisconsin has opened as a 10-point favorite for Saturday’s game, despite Michigan’s hot streak coming into the game. Considering how well the Wolverines have played, it is a little surprising that spread isn’t in single digits.

The Badgers enter the game with a perfect 10-0 record while Michigan will roll into Madison at 8-2.
Last year’s head-to-head bout in Ann Arbor was a classic, with the Wolverines posting a 14-7 win in a traditional, hard-nosed B1G contest. The point totals might be higher this year, but both defenses are extremely talented and it could be another slobber-knocker between the Badgers and Wolverines.
Saturday’s game is scheduled for a noon ET kickoff and it will air on FOX.
