It is a rematch of last season’s national championship game when the Washington Huskies welcome the Michigan Wolverines to Husky Stadium in Seattle this Saturday. Michigan won that game 34-13. This season, the Huskies and the Wolverines are conference foes.
The Wolverines are on the road for the first time all season after five consecutive home games. After getting blown out by the Texas Longhorns in Week 2, Michigan (4-1, 3-1 Big Ten) has rebounded nicely winning three straight (all by 10 points or less) including a win as a home underdog against the USC Trojans.
Washington is 3-2 (1-1 in the Big Ten) on the season and coming off a loss at Rutgers (21-18) after beating Northwestern (24-5) and losing to Washington State (24-19). The Huskies’ best win this season came versus Northwestern (24-5) in their debut in the Big Ten.

Game odds for Michigan vs. Washington - Week 6
The latest odds as of Monday afternoon:
o Moneyline: Washington -145, Michigan +120
o Spread: Washington -2.5 (-110)
o Total: 40.5 points

The look-ahead line for the preseason had Michigan -9.5, so there is a big overreaction to this spread. Washington is receiving early money and pushed this from Washington -2 to -2.5, but at -3, we should see Michigan money pour in. The total opened at 42 and 41.5 but is down to 40.5.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has the following best bets for Saturday’s matchup between the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies:
“The look-ahead line for this spread was Michigan -9.5 and over the first month of the season, it’s now Washington -2 to -2.5. I believe this is an overreaction to the market and Michigan is defensively, going to cause problems for Will Rogers and Washington.
The UNDER is likely the best bet, but with Michigan rarely being a road underdog and the look-ahead line almost double-digits, I will take the Wolverines +2.5 and sprinkle the ML.”
