The Wisconsin Badgers have one of the toughest schedules in the country. They have already taken on LSU, and beat them on a neutral field. Last week they went to Michigan State and soundly destroyed Sparty 30-6. Michigan State was 21-1 SU at home in their last 22 games, and hadn't lost a home game by 24 points or more since November 21, 2009, or almost seven years ago. As usual, Wisconsin has a big defense, and none of their four opponents have generated more than 325 yards against them. Michigan comes into this game, with a 4-0 record as well, but has not been tested yet, and this will be their first big challenge. I think that will give Wisconsin the edge, as they have already seen a high level opponent on two occasions, and handled both on the road. Michigan has the gawdy numbers, but so does the Wisconsin defense, and they have earned their stripes, something that can't be said about Michigan to this point. The Badgers have always done well vs. a strong offense, as they are 29-11 ATS in their last 40 games vs. a team that averages more than 450 yards a contest. This one is closer than it looks, so take the points on Wisconsin.
