Wisconsin So Far This Season
The Badgers will need to continue winning if they want even the most remote shot of making the Playoffs. Wisconsin's 1-5 record Against The Spread in particular does not bode well for this to happen.
From SI.com: "The way the Badgers are built, there was always going to be a point when the offense would fail to score enough and the defense would struggled to get stops. That time came on Saturday, as running back Jonathan Taylor was bottled up by his standards, and Alex Hornibrook was forced to try to win the game with his arm. All is not lost with Wisconsin, though, as it still controls its own fate in a bunched-up Big Ten West."
Wisconsin vs. Illinois Betting Trends
While Wisconsin has owned this series over the last eight years, they have only won by more than the current spread on one occasion. Their current play suggests this weekend will continue that trend.
The Badgers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.
The OVER is 8-1 in Badgers last 9 games following a ATS loss. The total is 57.
