La Salle vs Michigan Prediction


In this La Salle vs Michigan Prediction, Michigan is coming as -39.5 home favorites. Michigan has been the far better team this season, as they are one of the seven undefeated teams in the country and have been excellent against the spread lately, with a 5-1 record in their last 6 games. On the flip side, La Salle has been winless on the road and have been in terrible form lately, with a 1-5 record in their last 6 games. They also have a far weaker offense, scoring 27 points per game less than Michigan, so I expect the hosts to win this one comfortably. Take Michigan and lay the big number at home.

Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Michigan -39.5
