Wisconsin vs Michigan Over/Under Pick: Over 142
The projected total is a tough spot to call in this game, but among Wednesday’s NCAAB predictions, there’s a strong case for the over. Overall, the key factors here include that Wisconsin has exceeded its points per game average of 75.5 in multiple games against overmatched opponents. Now they face a Michigan team that allows 78.8 points per game but has consistently managed to land in the 70-80 point range themselves.
We should get enough on both sides to clear the total here, even if it proves to be a double-digit win by Wisconsin. In that case, I’d see an 80-65 type of outcome. If it’s close, Michigan will need to hit shots, and this game is in a fine position to lean toward the over.
Wisconsin vs Michigan ATS Pick: Wisconsin -5½
Wisconsin has been a tough team to gauge offensively, but the Badgers are coming off back-to-back losses, and I think that frustration gets taken out on Michigan here. This team is capable of scoring 80-90 points, as we’ve seen this season, and the Wolverines’ defense isn’t strong enough to slow down a Badgers team with four players averaging double-digit points. They’re led by AJ Storr, who’s scored 28 points twice in the past two weeks and could cause nightmares for Michigan. Wisconsin laying the points is a top NCAAB pick for me on Wednesday.
Unless parlaying the Wisconsin moneyline of -240 or so in with one or two other top straight bets, I’d avoid this spot altogether. The odds aren’t worth dabbling on for Wisconsin if you’re considering betting their moneyline by itself. I’m not sold on a result where the Badgers lose a third straight game to a Michigan group in the midst of a brutally bad stretch.

Questions Of The Day
What is Wisconsin’s biggest advantage when they face Michigan?
The Michigan Wolverines’ struggles defensively have been a major issue for much of their current losing skid, and they allow 78.8 points per game. With four players averaging double-digit points per game, Wisconsin is in a great position offensively on Wednesday.
Which player will score the most points in Wisconsin vs. Michigan?
I like Wisconsin guard AJ Storr to have another big showing here against an overmatched opponent. Storr, a sophomore guard, has averaged 16.4 points and scored 28 points in two of the last three games.
