Game Overview
The Michigan Wolverines host the Washington Huskies in a key Week 8 Big Ten-Pac 12 showdown at Michigan Stadium. Michigan enters as the favorite with slightly better recent form, home advantage, and a strong defensive reputation, while Washington tries to build on recent momentum and their previous H2H victory.
Key Factors to Consider
- Michigan has won their last three home games but recently lost on the road to a strong USC team. Washington has won back-to-back games, including a dominant home performance against Rutgers. Michiganβs offense is consistent, and their defense is stout, but Washingtonβs recent form suggests improvement.
- Washington won the last matchup between these teams 27-17 at Husky Stadium. Historically, Michigan has won two of the previous three meetups, indicating a fairly competitive rivalry.
- No critical injuries reported for either team that would drastically affect the quarterback or key skill positions, allowing both teams to field near-full-strength lineups.
- The game is played at Michigan Stadium, providing a home-field edge with crowd noise and familiar conditions. Weather conditions are expected to be neutral and not impact gameplay.
- Both teams are motivated: Michigan wants to assert dominance at home and keep playoff hopes intact, while Washington is eager to avenge their last home loss to Michigan and continue their winning streak.
