⬆️ Bryce Underwood Over 193.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

Michigan’s season feels like it’s already over after last week's brutal loss to USC, and the coaches may be starting to dust off their resumes. Still, this is a great bounce-back spot for Michigan's passing attack, which has been showing steady improvement throughout the season. Quarterback Bryce Underwood has tallied 200-plus passing yards in his last two games, and he'll make it three straight on Saturday.

Underwood gets the crucial advantage of playing at home, where he's averaging 254 passing yards per game this season. While two contests in that three-game sample came against questionable opposition, this Washington defense also isn't that scary, and playing at 9 a.m. on their body clocks is a factor, too. The Huskies just gave up 386 passing yards to Rutgers’ Athan Kaliakmanis last Friday, and 219 yards to Maryland’s Malik Washington before that.

Lock in Underwood for Over 193.5 passing yards at -114 betting odds (53.3%) through FanDuel, which is enough to score an $8.77 profit on a $10 bet.

⬇️ Jonah Coleman Under 62.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Washington running back Jonah Coleman finds himself in an unenviable position. He takes on a fierce Michigan defense that ranks 17th in yards allowed per rush attempt (3.2). While USC ran for a ridiculous 224 yards last week at 6.2 yards per attempt, the Trojans lead the Big Ten in line yards per rush with 3.7, while the Huskies average a much less impressive 3.2.

A few key facts point to value on the Under here. With the spread at Michigan -5.5, the best sports betting sites expect Washington to be playing from behind, which may cut into Coleman’s volume and output. Further, Washington's offense has been struggling to move the ball on the ground as the road team. Coleman averages just 58 rushing yards per road game.

Michigan’s defense should cause enough problems for Coleman and the Washington offensive line that he’ll need surplus volume to go Over 62.5 rushing yards. I just don’t think that volume will be there for him. Buy the Under on 62.5 yards for -114 (53.3%) at FanDuel before the line moves.

🔥 Andrew Marsh to score a touchdown (+240) ⭐⭐⭐

I have enough faith in Underwood and the Michigan passing attack to bet on one of the team’s top receivers, Andrew Marsh, finding pay dirt. Marsh has steadily worked his way up the depth chart for the Wolverines, culminating in an impressive eight-catch and 138-yard performance with a touchdown against USC, one of the few bright spots for this Michigan team.

Underwood’s confidence in Marsh is a positive sign, as is the upward trend in Marsh’s production. The freshman wideout now has posted a whopping 248 receiving yards on just 13 catches – 12 of which have come over the last two weeks – to go with a 23-yard rushing score across three games. Expect to see more of Marsh as Michigan looks for answers, especially near the goal line. 

At odds of +240 (29.4%) on DraftKings to score a touchdown, you can’t leave Marsh off your card.
