Location: Camp Randall
TV: Fox
Stream: Fox to Go
Weather: 37 & 80% rain
Line: Wisconsin -7.5
This line has dropped 2.5 points since it opened. Which means Vegas started to take a bunch of money on Michigan to cover. Some breaking news out of Madison is that WR's Rushing and Peavy who were both hurt are now off the team. Which seems like a strange development before their biggest game of the year.
Neither Michigan nor Wisconsin has any big wins this year and each will be looking to change that trend on Saturday. (Florida was ranked when Michigan beat them early on, but they have since imploded). Jim McElwain now has more time for deep sea fishing.
Tale of the Tape:
Michigan O vs. Wisconsin D = Wisconsin
Michigan D vs. Wisconsin O = Michigan
Special Teams = Wisconsin
Weather = Wisconsin
Coaching = Push
Intangibles = Wisconsin
Michigan lost to MSU in a monsoon and Michigan lost to PSU in bad game planning by the Wolverine coaches. The weather forecast looks to be cold and rainy. Which should limit the passing game, which fits both offenses style of play.
Yell, a round of cheese for everyone if................
- Don Brown is able to stop Jonathan Taylor
- Michigan plays clean on offense
- Michigan's defense creates 2-3 turnovers
- B. Peters passes for 200 yards
- Nordin makes 100% of field goals and extra points
- Wisconsin has the best defense in the stadium
- Michigan can't move the ball on offense
- Michigan's defense plays Taylor like they did Barkley
- Peters has a bad day
Guess what Wisconsin's game plan will be on defense? Stop the Michigan running game. The box will be filled with Badgers and Peters will have to move the ball through the air. We need a huge game from him, the TE's, and the banged up Michigan WR's. Michigan will have to pass to open up any run game. Many of us has expected that Jimmy has been keeping plays off tape for these two games, we will see if that is true early on Saturday afternoon. Wisconsin's defense gave up 56 total yards to Iowa last week.
This is a very hard game for me to predict. The weather is going to suck and both teams play solid and sound defense. Both teams play right into each others strength. This should be your "daddy's Big Ten game". No offense, tough defense, and whoever makes the most mistakes loses. Big Ten teams have played poorly on the road this year and that might be the difference Wisconsin needs. Michigan is a better team then they were a month ago but still over a TD dog in this game. It's also a 11:00 am kick off local time. Which is weird but better for Michigan then a night game. Every point is important and Nordin better make his kicks. Side note: Gus Johnson known Michigan fan on the mike for Fox!
Wisconsin 17 Michigan 13

I think Michigan needs to run with dual TE's all day. Short passes will keep the wis defense honest and open up holes for our running backs. Higdon and TY are not 100% even Evan's was limping in the last game. If wis packs the box Peter's need to do short passes. Peter's needs to shine in this game. JH and TD need to let Peter's loose and see what happens.
For our D I think they will be stellar. Hudson needs to watch how far wide he goes when he blitzes because at times he leaves large for other running backs to run through.
Go blue!!
