Our weekly predictions roll along as our staff selects a projected winner between the Badgers and the Wildcats in this seemingly lopsided matchup. Wisconsin may be more than three-touchdown favorites but Northwestern.....is missing its number one wide receiver (they also are very good at covering as road dogs in the Pat Fitzgerald era, though). Without further ado, the picks:
Noah Coffman: Wisconsin 26, Northwestern 3
The ‘Cats are going to cover, ok? Don’t ask me to explain how, they just will.
That said, Jonathan Taylor will control the ball on the ground and Northwestern just doesn’t have enough offense right now to overcome nearly anything from an opposing team, especially not the best back in the country.
