The Michigan Wolverines won all eight of their home games in 2016 and went 4-4 ATS over that stretch. The Wolverines can extend their home winning streak with a win over the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday.
Michigan lost 10 starters from last year’s elite defensive unit, but if the team’s season opener against Florida is any indication, this will once again be one of the nation’s best groups. The final score of 33-17 doesn’t tell the story as 14 of those Florida points came on interception returns for touchdowns. The Gators didn’t score a point on offense after their Sportsbook-drive field goal, and were held to 192 total yards, including just 11 yards on the ground and three forced fumbles.
Cincinnati has had some strong offensive years in its program’s history, but last season wasn’t one of them. The Bearcats went just 2-8 SU and ATS over their last 10 games in 2016 and averaged a measly 374 yards and 19.3 points per game on offense. The total has gone UNDER in seven of Cincinnati’s last eight games, and points will likely be hard for the Bearcats to come by in this one.
