Why you should back Michigan
The defending champions don’t have much of an aerial attack this season, but they’re still formidable underdogs in this one thanks largely to their defense and running game. Despite playing a tough schedule thus far, the Wolverines still rank 43rd nationally in total defense. That side of the ball is loaded with future NFL talent such as defensive tackles Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant and cornerback Will Johnson.
Donovan Edwards was expected to be the focus of the rushing attack, but instead converted linebacker Kalel Mullings has been the star thus far. Mullings leads the offense with 77 carries for 540 yards and six touchdowns, while Edwards (59-258-2) has been the complimentary back. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back Washington
Michigan is one-dimensional with Alex Orji at quarterback, so if Washington slows the run, it has a great chance to win and cover. The Wolverines have also not been good against the spread this season, going 1-4 ATS after failing to cover again last week against Minnesota.
The Huskies have a more versatile offense that is spearheaded by quarterback Will Rogers, who is completing 74.8% of passes for 1,364 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions. Two receivers — Denzel Boston and Giles Jackson have more than 30 catches and 400 receiving yards. Jonah Coleman gives them a force on the ground with 72 carries for 521 yards and four touchdowns.
