The Wisconsin Badgers meet the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in week 4 college football action from Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday afternoon.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be looking to add to their 27-13 win over Purdue in their last outing. Heading into their game against Purdue, Jack Coan’s thrown for 605 yards, 6 touchdowns and 2 interceptions on 69.1% passing while Kyren Williams leads the Irish in rushing with 120 rushing yards Michael Mayer leads the Irish in receiving with 16 grabs for 201 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns while Kevin Austin Jr. and the aforementioned Williams each have 100+ receiving yards as well this season. JD Bertrand leads the Irish defense with 22 total tackles including a team-high 16 solo tackles while Isaiah Foskey has a team-high 3 sacks and Kyle Hamilton has a pair of interceptions.

The Wisconsin Badgers come into this one looking to build off of their 34-7 win over Eastern Michigan in their last game to get to 1-1 on the year. Graham Mertz has thrown for 326 yards and 2 interceptions on 66.7% passing while Chez Mellusi leads the Badgers with 265 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns and Isaac Guerendo has 148 rushing yards as well for Wisky this season. Danny Davis leads the Badgers in receiving with 11 catches for 129 yards while Jake Ferguson has a team-high 12 grabs for 89 yards. Defensively, Jack Sanborn and Jack Nelson each have a team-high 5 solo tackles while Nick Herbig has a team-high 1.5 sacks this season.

Notre Dame is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games against the Big Ten and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 neutral site games. Wisconsin is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye week while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record.

This should be interesting with Wisconsin having extra time to prep for this one and Notre Dame still being as good as advertised for the most part. With that said, if this game was at Camp Randall, I’d lay it with Wisconsin but on a neutral field, I have to side with the under. I’m expecting a black and blue game here and I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t break 30 points when all is said and done. Give me the under.
