Wisconsin vs. Michigan: Best picks and prediction

When looking at the against-the-spread records throughout the season, there is a difference as Wisconsin is 10-10-2 against the spread while Michigan is a terrible 6-16. There is a reason why the Wisconsin Badgers are the 11th-ranked program in college basketball, and the Michigan Wolverines have a win percentage below .333.

Sophomore guard AJ Storr should dominate here and is doing very well, as he is averaging 16.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.4 steals in 27.4 minutes per game. He has not shot the ball too well but has been a force on the offensive side of things for the Badgers, and the Wolverines will struggle to stop him after scoring 28 points in back-to-back games recently.

All in all, go with the Wisconsin Badgers to win this game convincingly on the road and easily cover the 5.5 points, as they are the better team.
