Michigan football is in rare territory heading into its Week 4 matchup with the Wisconsin Badgers, as they open up as three-point underdogs for Saturday’s trip to Camp Randall Stadium.
As our old pal Drew Hallett points out, this will be only the seventh time under Jim Harbaugh that the Wolverines are an underdog for a game. The previous six did not go so well.
This will be the seventh time that Michigan will be an underdog under Harbaugh. The previous six are:
2015 Utah (L, 17-24)
2015 OSU (L, 13-42)
2016 OSU (L, 27-30 2OT)
2017 PSU (L, 13-42)
2017 Wisconsin (L, 10-24)
2017 OSU (L, 20-31)— Drew Hallett (@DrewCHallett) September 16, 2019This has not only been a Harbaugh-era problem, as Michigan’s struggles to win the big ones has been a concern for the better part of over a decade now.
