Overview

• Kickoff is Saturday at noon ET at Michigan Stadium with national TV coverage on FOX, and tickets were available starting around $127 at last check.
• BetMGM lists Michigan -16.5 with a -800 moneyline and a 42.5 total, and multiple models give the Wolverines roughly an 89% win probability.
• Wisconsin brings the nation’s top rushing defense at about 50 yards allowed per game to face a Michigan offense built on Justice Haynes’ production and freshman QB Bryce Underwood’s balanced threat.
• Michigan used the bye to work fundamentals and address 11 early-season drops, with possible receiver depth-chart tweaks after freshmen Andrew Marsh and Jamar Browder impressed in practice.
• Wisconsin’s two-deep names Billy Edwards Jr. at quarterback with his status uncertain and Danny O’Neil as the backup, adding to offensive questions after back-to-back losses.
