Who wins?

There’s no doubt that this is a win Jim Harbaugh and Michigan football need desperately. Players have called it a must-win game and it really feels like that.

A win could help turn things around and help Michigan close out the season on a strong note. But a loss and a fall to 1-3 would be devastating and you wonder if that would be the beginning of the end for Jim as head coach.

The Badgers come into this game as 2.5-point favorite and that tells you that the experts believe it will be close. Also maybe that they don’t know what to expect.

For Michigan football fans, the expectation is that this team will play with some urgency and the emotion that has been lacking. Harbaugh and company will circle the wagons, but will it be enough?

The answer is no, it won’t be.

Things will be close and it will be exciting, but Michigan won’t have an answer for the Badgers passing game, which causes the Wolverines to blow a late lead and lose a heartbreaker.
