Michigan Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Wisconsin in Week 12

1. Michigan Wolverines upset the Badgers

The Wisconsin Badgers are 10-0 and favored to win by 7.5 points per Las Vegas. The S&P+ has them at 3rd overall. That’s higher than Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Penn State and Miami. But Wisconsin isn’t battle tested like the Wolverines are. They’ve faced only Iowa who is 55th in the S&P+. Michigan is ranked 16th and Jim Harbaugh will have plenty to prove.

The Wolverines are battle tested. They beat the Florida Gators early in the season. The lost to the Michigan State Spartans but Sparty did beat Penn State and Iowa. The Spartans also hold a 7-3 record in 2017. Michigan State is ranked 39th in the S&P+ and Penn State is ranked eighth.

Sure, the Wolverines looked bad against the PSU Nittany Lions but PSU has the ninth-ranked defense and Michigan was in an offensive identity crisis at the time dabbling between three quarterbacks over the 2017 season while Harbaugh adjusts to life without Jedd Fisch.

Harbaugh has the guts and Michigan has the defense to upset the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall in Madison, Wisc. He will try anything in his power to upset the Badgers season and throw a wrench into the Ohio State Buckeyes plans as well. I will be at the game in the Big House between Ohio State and Michigan and I sure hope the implications are for Harbaugh to destroy the Big Ten and the College Football Playoff all over a two-week run.
