Washington vs. Wisconsin Prediction
I’m with Wisconsin here. It’s a huge number, and Wisconsin does have a bit of a look-ahead factor in play with a road game against Michigan State on deck. However, the Badgers’ offense has been lethal for the better part of the season as well as in conference play, and Washington’s offense season-long has left a lot to be desired. Washington has had issues scoring, and I just don’t know if I trust them to be able to score enough to keep this one within reason. Wisconsin’s beaten Illinois by 21 and Nebraska by 28 at home in two of their last three wins at home, and I just think that Washington’s way overmatched here. Give me the Badgers laying the points in a home beat down here.
