After being listed as a -1.5 point favorite just two days ago, the betting line for Wisconsin’s primetime clash with Michigan is moving rapidly in the Badgers’ favor according to BetMGM.
[lawrence-related id=24574]
Wisconsin is now listed as a -4.5 favorite, meaning any bet on the Badgers spread would only cash if they win by five or more points. A moneyline bet on Wisconsin (a bet on the Badgers to win the game outright) is now at -167 on BetMGM, meaning you would need to risk $167 to win $100. Michigan is now a +140 underdog.
The line only appears to be moving in one direction, and if news comes out later this week that confirms QB Graham Mertz is good to go, expect the line to jump even higher in Wisconsin’s favor.
