Washington vs. Michigan CBB Prediction:
I like Washington in this contest. A plethora of numbers bolster the case for the Huskies. Washington is 12-6 ATS after a loss and 7-3 ATS as a road underdog since the start of last season. Furthermore, the Huskies are 5-4 ATS with the rest disadvantage and 14-12 ATS in conference games since the beginning of last season.
And finally, Washington is 5-2 ATS against ranked opponents and 25-21 ATS in regular season games since the inception of the 2023 campaign. This line is likely inflated due to Michigan’s 94-75 win over UCLA on Tuesday and Washington’s 88-54 loss to Michigan State on Thursday. I think this game will be much closer than both of those contests. I’m backing the Huskies and the points in Ann Arbor on Sunday afternoon.
