Wisconsin at Michigan

The pressure is high on both teams as this is a playoff elimination game.

The plan for the Wolverines is simple. Stop Jonathan Taylor. He’s averaging 169.8 yards-per-game and has eight touchdowns.

Michigan’s defense is up for the challenge. It is allowing just 96.5 yards-per-game.

The outcome will rest with the quarterbacks.

Alex Hornibrook struggled the last time he visited the Big House as a freshman. He should be able to handle the pressure this time.

I expect Shea Patterson to have his best game of the year as Wisconsin’s pass defense is shaky.

I don’t think this is blowout, I do think Michigan wins comfortably by stopping Taylor and forcing a couple of turnovers. Michigan 30-17.

Jim Harbaugh gets a signature win and keeps his team in the hunt.
