The Wisconsin Badgers and Ohio State Buckeyes meet Saturday in week 4 college football action at Ohio Stadium. The Wisconsin Badgers look to get off to a 3-1 start. The Ohio State Buckeyes look for their fourth 4-0 start in the last 5 years.

The Wisconsin Badgers have won 3 of their last 4 road games. Graham Mertz is completing 71 percent of his passes for 697 yards, 6 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Chimere Dike and Skyler Bell have combined for 318 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns, while Clay Cundiff has 8 receptions.

Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emerka Egbuka have combined for 666 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns, while Cade Stover has 8 receptions.

The Badgers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 3-10 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Badgers last 5 games overall. The over is 9-4-1 in Buckeyes last 14 conference games. The Badgers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Ohio State and 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 meetings.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have the offensive horses to really pile it on here, but this line isn't showing Wisconsin much respect. Yes, the Wisconsin Badgers aren't as talented as they've been in past years, but they still get after it defensively, and it's hard seeing them getting taken behind the woodshed because of that defensive effort. Wisconsin has the ability to grind games down and do just enough to hang around before running out of gas in the fourth quarter. The Badgers won't be an easy out. Give me the points.
