A win for Wisconsin would push their record over .500, and after three quarters of play they’ve put themselves in a good position to make it happen. Sitting on a score of 21-14, they have looked like the better team, but there’s still one more quarter to play.
If Wisconsin keeps playing like this they’ll be starting off their season with a ‘W’. On the other hand, Western Michigan will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).
Western Michigan Broncos @ Wisconsin Badgers
Current Records: Western Michigan 0-0, Wisconsin 0-0
The Western Michigan Broncos will hit the road to start this year’s campaign against the Wisconsin Badgers. Kickoff is scheduled at 9:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Camp Randall Stadium.
This game could come down to passing touchdowns, as neither team did well in that area last year. Wisconsin were ranked 106th in the nation, with 11 over the course of the season. Western Michigan, meanwhile, were ranked 112th with 13.
Looking back to last season, Wisconsin finished on the right side of .500 (7-5), and they’re hoping to kick off an even more successful campaign this year. On the other hand, Western Michigan finished with a dismal 4-8 record.
Looking ahead, the game looks promising for Wisconsin, as the team is favored by a full 24 points. They finished last season with a 5-6-1 record against the spread.
Wisconsin ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 7-4 when favored last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 12 games they played last year would have netted $339.73. Sadly, Western Michigan will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 0-8 as such last year.
Wisconsin is a big 24-point favorite against Western Michigan, according to the latest college football odds.
The oddsmakers were right in line with the betting community on this one, as the game opened as a 24-point spread, and stayed right there.
