The Wisconsin Badgers are headed to Ann Arbor to take on the Michigan Wolverines and are hoping to stop a downward spiral. After two consecutive losses and Billy Edwards being declared out once again, this game has a chance to really get away from the Badgers, and fast. This game has the chance to change the course and decrease the pressure on Luke Fickell if he can pull off a victory, or it will turn up the heat even more.
Right now, no one has any hope for the Badgers. Can they battle through all that and come out on top? That's the goal, but it may be a pipe dream.
Final Odds for Wisconsin vs. Michigan: 17.5 Wolverines
The Badgers are 17.5 underdogs right now to Michigan. This is nearly as big a spread as when Wisconsin traveled to Alabama. That's how low the Badgers have fallen. The over/under on the game is sitting at 43.5.
If you take the spread and the over/under, you can get a prediction from Vegas. Right now, the final score prediction will be somewhere around 31-13 in favor of the Wolverines. This feels in many ways right on target with what will happen tomorrow.

These predictions haven't been close so far; the Badgers have been so underwhelming in every game that we've yet to nail it. Against Maryland, it was overly optimistic, and even against Alabama, although we predicted a loss, there was a thought that the Badgers could hang tough.
This time, let's just call a spade a spade and agree that the Badgers are not a good team and will therefore play like one. It will be another frustrating day, and midway through, fans will be flipping over to the Brewers game.
