UCLA Bruins vs. Michigan Wolverines Prediction

I’m on Michigan here. It’s a big number, but the thing is that Michigan’s been a lot stronger at home this season and I’m honestly not buying too much into what UCLA is selling right now, especially in these east coast matchups where this is pretty much a 10 AM tip off for these Bruins. Michigan just has too much firepower for the Bruins to deal with and I think Michigan drills them here. Give me the Wolverines.
