Michigan vs Wisconsin Prediction 

Michigan jumped out to a big lead early in the second half against Maryland on Saturday, but they were fortunate to escape with a win after blowing a 15 point lead. The Wolverines ended the regular season really struggling in all facets of the game, but they have played well against Purdue and Maryland. Wisconsin has won three games in a row and knocked off Michigan State on Saturday afternoon. The Badgers are the slightly better team when looking at points per game and points against per game, but I do think we are going to see plenty of points scored here. Michigan has scored at least 81 points in two straight, while Wisconsin has scored 75+ in three of their last four. Take the over here.
