Pitt vs Wisconsin Prediction

Give me Wisconsin here. The Badgers offense has run up the score against everyone so far this season and they are going to do the same here. I understand that Pitt’s defense has been good, but this Badgers offense isn’t going to be too concerned with that. Wisconsin might not get to the season average of 87.7 points, but they are going to score enough to cover the spread here. Back Wisconsin against the spread here.
