We preview the Michigan football team's first road test of the season at Wisconsin, looking at the keys to the game for the Wolverines and making our predictions for the matchup.

We begin by looking at what Michigan's offense needs to do to have success. We discuss how concerned Wolverine fans should be about Wisconsin's nation-leading run defense, especially coupled with the run game's struggles against Rutgers. We also look at Michigan's contentious passing game, and offer our thoughts on how the Wolverines can improve their success through the air against the Badgers.

We then look at the other side of the ball. We assess how much Michigan's defensive front has narrowed the gap from last season's matchup, particularly in its ability to stop the run. We also look at Graham Mertz's struggles as Wisconsin's quarterback, and how the Wolverines can capitalize.

In the second segment of the episode, we make our weekly prop-bet predictions, and deliver our final thoughts on how Saturday's game will go.
