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."
