This is probably the most lopsided game in terms of predictions I've seen in watching basketball. I haven't seen one person take Michigan over Villanova on tv or online. I haven't seen anything like it. This phenomenon is deserved though. Villanova dominated Kansas with their outside shooting and looked unstoppable. Michigan, on the other hand, looked shaky for 30 minutes in their Final Four victory. They didn't shoot well and didn't get any guard production from Zavier Simpson or Muhammad Ali Abdur-Rahkman. If they want to have any chance to beat Villanova, that can't happen.
Villanova is the clear favorite. They have six guys (Jalen Brunson, Donte Divincenzo, Eric Paschall, Omari Spellman, Phil Booth and Mikal Bridges) who can just go off and kill you. You never know who it's gonna be either, but there's always at least one. Michigan is more of a predicable offense in terms of production. It's either gonna be Moritz Wagner or Charles Matthews.
Just looking at the rosters, Villanova is the clear favorite. I can't even make a plausible argument as to how Michigan will win. If they do pull it off, it'll be one of the craziest championship upsets ever.
My brain says Villanova, my bracket says Michigan. My bracket actually predicted this matchup, so I'm gonna keep rolling with it.
Michigan will win this game. I don't know how, but they will. I'm the first one to pick Michigan, and I'm proud to do so. Let's go.
