Michigan won last year's meeting 14-7 and it is coming off two easy wins and covers against Maryland and Minnesota. Karan Higdon, the Wolverines' leading rusher, missed the second half against Maryland, but he is expected to play in this game. If not, Chris Evans would fill in nicely as he has rushed for 271 yards on only 28 carries with four touchdowns the last two weeks. Michigan has turned to sophomore Brandon Peters to take over at quarterback and while not flashy, he has thrown four TD passes with no interceptions in four games. Peters was 9-of-18 for 145 yards and 2 TDs against the Terrapins. Wisconsin is 10-0, but there's a reason why it's ranked #5 with two once-beaten teams ahead of it. The Badgers have played a relatively weak schedule and was fortunate to catch Iowa in a letdown situation last week after the Hawkeyes' huge win over Ohio State. Michigan will be the toughest test for the Badgers so far this season and they are 1-4-1 ATS their last six games after an ATS win and 1-4-1 ATS following a win of at least 20 points. This one will go to the wire, so take the points with Michigan.
