Delaware vs Wisconsin Prediction
Wisconsin is obviously the more talented team and capable of a blowout, but we have to question the motivation to do so. Wisconsin is also still working in new faces, and we did just see the Badgers struggle to put away Denver as a 25.5-point favorite.
This game means more to Delaware, and the Blue Hens were fantastic in the underdog role. Just in its last 10 games, Delaware has outright upset wins over Sam Houston, Missouri State, FIU, and Middle Tennessee. Clearly Wisconsin is floors up in terms of competition, but Delaware is used to being doubted and competing. I’ll grab the points with the Blue Hens on Friday night.
