1. Michigan and Wisconsin - like looking in a mirror?

If you only looked at these two teams on paper, I wouldn't blame you for getting them mixed up. Let's take a look at the blind resumes, and see if you can guess who's who.

For those who don't know, Team 'A' is Michigan and Team 'B' is Wisconsin. There are differences, to be sure - on average, Wisconsin's offense has been more efficient this year. But in the broad strokes you can see the similarities. We'll be watching two great defensive teams duke it out this weekend, both of whom have their ups and downs on the offensive side of the ball. The over/under of 41 points that I've seen on a few odds sites is easily one of the lowest you'll find this week, and for good reason.
