Another Early Season Test For Marquette

Marquette has been tested to start the season and they have had only one slipup against Purdue. This is a Marquette squad that has beaten Kansas, UCLA, and Illinois already. In the last game against Southern, the offense scored 93 points and that led to the blowout victory. It was a balanced attack for Marquette with five different players putting up at least 10 points.

Marquette vs Wisconsin Betting Prediction 

Marquette is going to have little issues getting the job done here. Marquette is a strong offensive team, and I am still not sold on this Wisconsin offense being all that good. In the last game, Marquette put up 93 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Wisconsin is going to have no chance at keeping up, and it will be Marquette that gets the job done. Back Marquette against the spread.
