The long wait is nearly over as Michigan football will take on Wisconsin in just a few hours and here’s our final betting preview, as well as how to stream. 

Despite the rankings and the records, Michigan football has a very real challenge ahead of it as the Wolverines head to Camp Randall for their first road game of the season.

The Badgers are a slight favorite, which is something that changed from earlier in the week when Michigan football had a slight edge. But the Badgers are 1-2 and many have said this Wisconsin team isn’t exactly as good as the teams of the past.

Losses to Penn State and Notre Dame, which are both ranked in the top 10, have dropped the Badgers out of the Top 25. But that doesn’t mean Michigan football, which hasn’t won at Camp Randall since 2001, is going to have it easy.

As desperate as the Wolverines are to win a game like this, the Badgers are that desperate for a win, which would put them right back in the mix in the Big Ten West.

We’ve broken it down all week. Here are five predictions; as well as three keys to victory and three reasons we think Michigan football will win this game. Also, here are key storylines and five things to know about Wisconsin.

Heres’s our final betting preview, as well as the injury report and how to stream.

Michigan football vs Wisconsin Injury report

Both teams have some key players on the defensive side of the ball nursing some injuries. Josh Ross is probable after missing the second half of last week’s game against Rutgers. He got a stinger and while he’s probably not going to be 100 percent, I’d expect him to play.

Another big addition for the Wolverines this week could be defensive tackle Jordan Whittley. He made an impact against Washington, but was hurt and didn’t suit up against Rutgers. Shaun Nua said he had a “boo-boo” and should be ready.

We all know Wisconsin will try to pound the ball on Saturday and the Wolverines can use all the big bodies they can get on the defensive line.

Cornerback Faion Hicks was among the biggest names on Wisconsin’s injury report this week and was listed as questionable with a few others.

Michigan football vs Wisconsin Odds and Betting Pick Week 5

According to WynnBET’s odds for Week 5, Wisconsin is favored in this matchup by two points, which generally means the books see Michigan football as the better team (being at home is usually worth three points).

The Wolverines are 2-1 against the spread this year but Jim Harbaugh is 0-12 on the road as an underdog so this would be a significant win, even against a 1-2 team.

It’s going to be low scoring and the first team to 20 points is probably going to win the game. Expect lots of running and likely some mistakes from the quarterbacks.

Whichever quarterback plays better is going to win the game. So far, Cade McNamara hasn’t made many mistakes (zero turnovers), while Graham Mertz is averaging two interceptions per game.

Michigan will win the turnover battle on Saturday and because of that, we are predicting the Wolverines to squeak out a 16-13 win over the Badgers.
