Michigan comes in off a dominant win against this tournament’s Cinderella team, Loyola-Chicago. Previous to this, the Wolverines laid waste to every opponent they have virtually come across. The same can be said for the Wildcats. For Villanova, the Wildcats dominated the Kansas Jayhawks in their Final Four contest. The final was 95-79, and the result in itself is bound to sound ripples across the betting word given the quality of the opponent in question.

Michigan Wolverines vs. Villanova Wildcats Prediction 04/02/2018
Targeting overreactions is what we champion. Villanova's dominant performance against Kansas combined with their overall ranking in this tournament makes the Wildcats a popular choice in this scenario. Moreover, Villanova was here just two years ago when they ended a long championship drought. For these reasons, the Wildcats will garner a lot of public enthusiasm. However, Michigan's defense gives them a chance to compete in every game they enter.
With this said, many are booking the Under by the fact the expectation is that defenses will determine the finality of this championship game. However, Michigan knows what kind of firepower Villanova's offense features and they will need to score points to keep this game close. Michigan has the personnel to make it rain from three-point land. Expect the Wolverines to, and in doing so, we will go ahead and take the Over here with an excellent price tag.
Free Pick:
Take Michigan +6.5 and Over 144.5 (+120) (KF)
