Summary
In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's matchup against Wisconsin, and keys for the Wolverines to move to 4-1 on the season.
They open with a look at the keys for Michigan's offense. They discuss the Badgers' run defense and pass-rush, why Michigan may be able to run the ball well anyways, passing to set up the run, potential shakeups in the wide receiver room and an ascending offensive line. They also make prop-bet picks for the offense in the game.
In the second half of the episode, they look at the keys for Michigan's defense. They discuss Wisconsin's offensive woes, a tough schedule for the Badgers, Michigan getting healthy in the secondary, the importance of a dominant pass-rush and disruptive front, covering tight ends and more. They close with their defensive prop-bet picks, and make their final score predictions for the game.
