Wisconsin (2-2) and No. 20 Michigan (3-1) face off in a Week 6 Big Ten Battle at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, featuring a struggling Badgers team and a Wolverines squad looking to flex its dominance.
Michigan enters on a two-game win streak, including a tight road victory over Nebraska in last week’s conference opener. Wisconsin, meanwhile, has dropped its last two.
For the Badgers, the focus is on quarterback health: Billy Edwards Jr. is expected to miss another game with a knee sprain, meaning sophomore Danny O’Neil will get the start.
O’Neil has flashed potential — throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 2 win — but inconsistency remains an issue. He’s thrown five touchdowns and five interceptions this season and now faces one of the Big Ten’s toughest defenses.
Michigan is led by freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, who continues to impress with his mobility as his passing develops. Last week, he went 12-for-22 for just 105 yards but opened the scoring with a 37-yard rushing touchdown.
Running back Justice Haynes has been the Wolverines’ engine, surpassing 500 rushing yards on the season and posting 149 yards — including a 75-yard run — against Nebraska.
But Haynes and the Wolverines’ ground attack will face their toughest test yet. Wisconsin leads the nation in rushing defense, allowing just 50.0 yards per game — the lowest in the country, along with just 2.11 yards per carry through four contests.
Wisconsin vs. Michigan Prediction
Wisconsin is in a difficult spot, entering with an inconsistent, uncertain offense. Michigan has the edge in depth, running game, and defensive talent.
Wisconsin’s nation-leading rush defense might limit Haynes and the Wolverines’ ground attack early, but Michigan has the tools to adapt through the air. Underwood continues to grow as a passer, and his ability to spread the field should open up opportunities once the defense starts to key on the run.
Expect Michigan to control the line of scrimmage, force turnovers, and build a sizable lead. Wisconsin might manage a few sustaining drives, but the Wolverines should pull away in the second half.
Projected Score: Michigan 34, Wisconsin 14
