Indiana Hoosiers vs Wisconsin Badgers prediction
The Wisconsin Badgers are the better team, and they’ve played their best ball at home, where they’re 9-1 SU. Wisconsin has also won 8 of the last 10 meetings against Indiana. With all that said, the Indiana Hoosiers are a good team that’s top-100 in both offensive field goal percentage and defensive field goal percentage. Indiana does have to prove itself on the road, but this is a team that went toe to toe with Kansas and beat Ohio State as a slight underdog. The Hoosiers can hang around. Big conference game. I’ll take a stab with the boatload of points.
