Last weekend. October 13, 2018. Illinois falls to Purdue at home 46-7. Wisconsin loses to Michigan in primetime 38-13. Illinois was a 10-point underdog to the Boilermakers and against Wisconsin this weekend, the Illini are 25-point underdogs as they head to Madison.
The 2018 Wisconsin Badgers look a lot like Wisconsin teams of the past: They attack teams on the ground with a prolific running back and the best offensive line in the conference.
Wisconsin has won the last eight against Illinois, and the Illini’s last win was in 2007 during the Rose Bowl campaign.
