Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood has not been spectacular in his freshman season. He has just two touchdown passes and one interception in four games. Underwood deserves credit for not throwing a ton of picks early in his collegiate career. But he needs to do more through the air to help his team reach its full potential.
Wisconsin's Danny O'Neil has also had a mediocre start to the season. He has five touchdown passes and five interceptions, playing a higher risk and higher reward style of quarterback compared to Underwood. The question will be whether we get the best version of O'Neil to help the Badgers hang around in this one.
Score Projection: Wisconsin 14 – Michigan 28
Win Probability: Wisconsin 11%, Michigan 89%
I don't expect Wisconsin to win this game by any means. But I do think that they will do enough to cover the spread as a sizable underdog here. Wisconsin's offense will run the ball and chew the clock as much as possible. Michigan should win by about two touchdowns or so, meaning a comfortable win for the Wolverines, but a cover for the Badgers on the road.
