Wisconsin vs Appalachian State Prediction
Appalachian State didn’t look good in its one game against a division one team and this game will be even tougher. Wisconsin is rolling through two games and the Badgers are showing some bite on the offensive side. We’re used to Wisconsin to playing together and getting after it defensively, but if there’s a consistent offense as well this season, the Badgers could make some noise in the Big Ten. App State has failed to cover four straight games. I’ll lay the chalk with Wisconsin at home.
