Summary:
Wisconsin has been ultra-impressive this year especially after blowing out Michigan State on the road last week. The Badgers have one of the top ten defenses in all of college football. Michigan has played a pretty easy schedule so far but they have taken care of business by dominating all of their opponents thus far. Michigan is one of the best rushing teams but they will face a tall task against a tough Badgers defense. This game could come down to one or two key turnovers at a crucial time. The Wolverines defense has been tremendous as well and have to stuff to stuff the run to win this game. This will be a defensive minded battle but I give the slight edge to Michigan at home.
