    Books have taken a serious stance on Michigan this week

    Michigan up to -10 over Wisconsin. We’ve heard about the talent they have but this is still a team that has come up small in big games for several years now. Books clearly telling us they think Michigan comes through in a big way Saturday night. I expect a convincing win for the Wolverines.

    Wisconsin multiple injuries and a suspension , Michigan should be 6 or so without all that, so i think 10 is probably fair and probably will creep up a hair more

    Seems like the whole world is on Michigan this week. I'll wait until game time and take Wisconsin. I might be wrong but my numbers like Wisconsin. GL on your bets.

    6.5-7 but as someone said wisky has quite a bit of injuries. I see "not clear" as the status of those players suiting up.

    You guys really trust Hornibrook on the road. Gary should be back for Michigan. If you need anymore convincing, Landers is on Wisky. They are a square dog.

    I realize the teams aren’t exactly the same this year, but for reference, Wisconsin was a 7 point favorite at home last year in this matchup. A game they won 24-10.

    We’re talking about a 17 point difference here in the point spread. Adjust roughly 6 points for home field and it’s an 11 point difference. Again, I know Michigan has a better quarterback this year and the teams aren’t exactly the same but that’s still a huge change. Books have shown loads of confidence in Michigan all year. This isn’t new.

    Michigan stumbled early, it's about what have you done for me lately. No doubt Michigan is one of the ten best teams in the country. I think you can make the argument that the only teams that are for sure better than Michigan are Bama, Georgia and Ohio St.

    Michigan has the largest living alumni base and a wealthy one at that. Books always get loads of Michigan money regardless of spread so they often inflate it in search of balance.

    And the #5 team in the country that beat them, and led 21-3 at one point, isn't on your list?

    I agree but Waited too long to play them. Silly to lay -10 now when you could have gotten much better line earlier in the week. I just can’t play games after losing so much value even if I think it still the right side. Gl wizzle

    I doubt I’d lay the 10 but still not sure. Not much value but I also think there’s a good chance they win by 2+ tds.

    I get that feeling as well. Just a situation where if ya didn’t jump on them early in week it tough to pull trigger at this point. I know I’ve seen a ton of Wisconsin love all over even when it was lower so maybe come 2marro enough dog money will come in to drop it back down a little?

    mich. has mich. state next week and good chance state loses to penn state this week and I think they will play mich. close or may win next week. but dont know whats wrong with mich. state. seen them a little have some talent of course, maybe d and o line isnt all that good. qb isnt great but he's at least decent. hard to tell lines for conference matches ahead of time a lot of the time especially when the fav is the road team, but if that line is touching mich -6 I gotta look at mich. st. in that one.
