The current betting odds have Michigan listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Michigan is 1-1 overall this season and they are coming off their 1st loss of the year. They lost to UConn 85-77, but that was a really tough game for them. Michigan won the National Championship last season, but they lost a lot of that talent to the NBA along with their head coach. They also beat UConn in the Natty so UConn was always going to bring their best effort for that one and UConn does have one of the best teams in the nation too. Michigan still has a really talented team though and they will be looking to bounce back in this home game. Meanwhile, Marquette is 2-0 overall this season and they have been crushing their opponents. Both of their wins have been blow outs and they haven't given up 50 points in a game yet, but they also played against 2 much weaker opponents. Marquette isn't entering this season ranked inside the top 25 and they have been a program in decline over the last few years. They were one of the best teams in the Big East and the nation just a few years ago, but each year they have gotten a little worse and now they are really a shell of themselves with no returning players from those great teams. Smart is in a prove it year with a brand new team now, but this is a bad situation for them on the road with Michigan coming off that loss. Look for Michigan to bounce back at home and take advantage of a Marquette team that has fallen a long way from where they were just a few years ago. The best way to place a bet here is on Michigan to cover the spread in this game.

“When you get into a game like this, it’s easy to get selfish or for the ball to stick, but when you pass like this, you’re going to win a lot of games. And our rebounding set a tone for this game.” - Shaka Smart on his team’s upcoming game against Michigan. 

“I would hope we’re mature enough, particularly for the new guys, to understand that we’ve got to create our own legacy. And that includes me. You know, I’m not the defending national championship head coach, either. I was an assistant coach on that team.” - Mike Boynton on his team’s upcoming game against Marquette.
