Summary

After a bye week, we preview the No. 11 Michigan football team's matchup with No. 13 Wisconsin, looking at the key storylines and angles, as well as making predictions for the game.

First, we open with a look into the constant do-or-die rhetoric that surrounds all of Michigan's big games. We note why the Wolverines are an easy target for national pundits and why this game is actually a big matchup without the world necessarily being at stake.

Then, we dive into some of the things we're watching in the contest. We look at how Michigan's defense matches up against Wisconsin, particularly against the Badgers' offensive line and All-American Jonathan Taylor. We also try to dissect Wisconsin's exceptional start on offense, and what it means for Saturday's matchup. Then, we look at what Michigan's offense can do to get going against the Badgers.

Then, we close with our weekly over-under game and our predictions for the matchup, including our first dame result disagreement of the season.
