A massive Big Ten clash is set to highlight the college football schedule as the Wisconsin Badgers host the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday. Wisconsin needs a victory in this outing or else it can kiss a Big Ten title goodbye, but despite some conference losses the Badgers have been a great bet in conference games. They are a perfect 4-0 ATS against the Big Ten this season and 6-1 on the season as a whole.
- Nebraska is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games against Wisconsin.
- Nebraska is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 games on the road.
- The OVER is 4-1 in the past 5 games between Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Wisconsin continues to get it done thanks to the defense, as the Badgers are allowing just 14.3 points per game. The only team to score more than 17 points against Wiscy was Ohio State, whose offense is fifth in the nation in scoring.
Nebraska is undefeated, but it hasn’t been pretty for Mike Riley and company. The Cornhuskers struggled in their past two outings against Indiana and Purdue, both of which don’t inspire confidence. However, Tommy Armstrong Jr. has recorded 300-plus yards of offense in 13 straight games, a school record.
