Minnesota vs Wisconsin Prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay points with a Wisconsin Badgers team that’s lost four straight games. However, it’s senior night and Wisconsin has 28 seniors on this roster. Also, Wisconsin hasn’t failed to reach a bowl game since 2001. Without a win here, that streak is snapped. There’s a lot of motivation for the Badgers. The Minnesota Golden Gophers are 8-2-1 ATS on the season and have been the sharper team overall, but there’s a lot on the line for Wisconsin, and that’s why I lean toward the Badgers.
