Why Wisconsin can cover
The Week 7 loss to the Hawkeyes was the first shutout defeat at home for the Badgers since 1980, although offensive turnovers were a bigger culprit in that game. The run defense is allowing the fifth-fewest yards per game in the conference (97.5) and was allowing just 19.8 points per game prior to the last week’s loss. Plus, in their last four home games against the Buckeyes, the Badgers have kept the point deficit under 25 points. It will be up to the defense to keep Saturday’s game within the large point spread.
