Michigan recently lost a close game on neutral court vs a 6-2 Kentucky team that has big chance to win it all this year. As you seen when Minnesota hosted DePaul, they struggle with high powered, high scoring offenses like Michigan who are averaging 75.1 ppg. Wolverines aren't defensively sound but that's in part because of the fast pace they tend to play in. It's safe to take Michigan with the points even though it's their first road game and even though Minnesota is 3-1 at home vs weaker competition. That just helps us get a decent number out the gate.

Official Play: Michigan -4.5

Side Bet: Over 135.50
