Eastern Michigan vs Wisconsin Prediction
Wisconsin needs better production out of its quarterback, and this is a look-ahead spot with Penn State on deck. However, Eastern Michigan has been awful across the board offensively, and its defense hasn’t been any better. You can argue Eastern Michigan is one of the worst teams in all of college football up to this point. Wisconsin’s defense should set the tone and lead to short fields for the Badgers offense. This will likely be an ugly game but a Wisconsin blowout nonetheless. I’ll lay the points with Wisconsin, as Eastern Michigan comes into this game a mess on both sides of the ball.
