Wisconsin at Michigan: Three things to know
Wisconsin, which enters on a two-game win streak, is 7-1 in its last eight games. However, the Badgers are just 4-3-1 ATS in that span, most recently failing to cover as 9-point home favorites in an 80-73, double-overtime win vs. Indiana Thursday. Senior G D’Mitrik Trice, who scored a team-high 21 points vs. the Hoosiers, leads four Badgers in double figures with 14.8 points per game, along with a team-best 3.7 assists per game. Senior F Micah Potter averages 12.5 PPG and is UW’s top rebounder at 7.0 RPG.Michigan has covered the spread four games in a row and is 7-1 ATS in its last eight. The Wolverines are coming off impressive back-to-back home victories against Top 25 teams, beating then-No. 22 Northwestern 85-66 as 9.5-point favorites Jan. 3 and then-No. 17 Minnesota 82-57 as 7.5-point favorites Wednesday. Freshman C Hunter Dickinson has led the Wolverines in scoring in five of their last six games, and in rebounding in seven of the last eight.

Wisconsin at Michigan: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Michigan 75, Wisconsin 69
Money line (ML)
PASS. The Wolverines will remain undefeated, but their -175 money line price is not worth the risk.
Against the spread (ATS)
MICHIGAN -3.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. The Wolverines are flat-out the better team. The line is small enough that if the they don’t have a late double-digit lead, they should cover the spread from the foul line down the stretch. Their 77.8% free-throw shooting ranks 19th in the country – and first in the Big Ten.
Plus, Michigan’s returning players will look to avenge last season’s home loss to Wisconsin.
ATS: Wisconsin 5-6-1 | Michigan 8-2
Over/Under (O/U)
Back the OVER 134.5 (-115). Michigan averages 82.5 PPG overall and 78.6 PPG in Big Ten games, while Wisconsin is scoring at a 76.5-PPG clip and 73.4 PPG in conference games.
The fear is that Wisconsin features the Big Ten’s best defense in points allowed at 61.5 PPG. That shouldn’t be an issue with Michigan on its home floor.
O/U records: Wisconsin 8-4 | Michigan 6-4
