Michigan +3.5 3.3% play
This will be a low scoring game, and the extra points are more valuable when you don't expect a high scoring game. Plus this was Michigan -6.5 in the game of the year lines, and I don't really understand the move of 10 full points. Michigan hasn't looked good, but they are 2-0, and have everything to play for. I also think the bye benefited them more because they are implementing a new offense, and it obviously hasn't gone smooth so far with Josh Gattis calling plays, but with the extra time here I think it will help the offense.
At the end of the day there is a clear talent edge on Michigan's sideline. They average top 10 in recruiting the last 10 years compared to Wisconsin who is averaging 44th. That doesn't always mean anything, but I'm sure these guys from Michigan don't like the fact that they are dogs here, and they have had to hear for 2 weeks how they haven't beaten a top 10 team, and they struggled and nearly lost to Army in OT. Oklahoma also almost lost to Army in OT last year before pulling off the win, and they proceeded to beat Baylor the next week by 33 points and go onto the college football playoff.
I was high on Wisconsin coming in and played them in week 1 at South Florida, but this is a crazy line move, and I"m not honestly sold on QB Jack Coan vs. a capable defense. Coan is getting a ton of credit right now, but I just think Shea Patterson will out play him, and Wisconsin's secondary is suspect to big plays which Michigan is capable of with the talent they have at WR. Also, Coan vs. teams with a winning record last year was 35-62 for 291 yards, 2 TD's and 3 INT, (Northwester, Penn State, and Miami).
