The eighth-ranked Badgers will look to keep the good times rolling this weekend at home against a struggling Northwestern squad in a battle between last year’s Big Ten West champion and this season’s current favorite to take the crown.
While Wisconsin has looked like a dark horse College Football Playoff contender after three straight dominant victories, the Wildcats’ season has gotten off to a disappointing start, and at this point, their goal is to probably just find a way to scrape five wins together in order to be bowl-eligible.
Bucky is clearly the more talented team this season and should theoretically blow Northwestern out of the water, but based on how past matchups have gone between these programs in recent years, to expect a blowout victory for Wisconsin is probably wishful thinking.
