What the Bookies are Saying: Michigan vs. Wisconsin

A really good game is set to play on Fox Television Saturday at Noon EST between the Wolverines and undefeated Badgers.  Michigan beat Wisconsin as a big -11.5 home favorite last year following a lull in head-to-head meetings between these two teams for five years previous. 

Several books across the globe opened this number at Wisconsin -10 and it has since drifted down to -7.5.  Action was now mostly balanced

Wisconsin, Miami and Alabama are now the only undefeated teams among the major College Football conferences but the Badgers only rank number 7 in the NCAA College Football Power Ratings whereas five other schools with losses are rated above them. 

That being said, the line on Wisconsin should be -10, so the books had it right the first time and my guess is that the Badgers will cover any number below the 10.

Wisconsin-based bookies would be wise to keep this number closer to the 10 as a means of encouraging more action on the Wolverines.
