Take Michigan straight up.

The Michigan Wolverines avoided back-to-back letdowns with a win over Iowa. They did so by putting on a clinic offensively and scoring 103 points. On Wednesday, they’ll face a Big 10 opponent in the Fighting Illini that nearly defeated Maryland but failed to execute for two halves. Look for that to change as they look to make a statement against Michigan.
