Wisconsin vs. Western Michigan: Picks, odds, and prediction

It’s gameday for the Wisconsin Badgers, as they’re set to take on the Western Michigan Broncos in Week 1 on Friday at Camp Randall Stadium, looking to start the season strong.

Wisconsin is coming off a 7-6 season where they started strong with a 5-2 record, but faltered down the stretch due to injuries and inconsistencies for an up-and-down first year for head coach Luke Fickell.

Meanwhile, Western Michigan is coming off a 4-8 season, including 3-5 in MAC play, which led them to hire a new offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator for the upcoming season.
