Wisconsin vs Pittsburgh Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with 6-0 records to start the season, so we should be in for a great game here. The Badgers have scored at least 87 points in four straight games, including 103 points against Arizona a few games ago. Pittsburgh has also been high-scoring this season and they are shooting over 50% from the field. The Panthers have been the better defensive team to start the year and I think that will be the difference here. Take Pitt to get the win.
