Washington vs Wisconsin Prediction
The current betting odds have Washington listed as a 10.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Washington has looked really good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall and their 3-2 conference record which has them right in the middle of the Big Ten. They are ranked inside the top 25 in the CFP rankings and their 2 losses this year were both against ranked opponents, Ohio State and Michigan. Meanwhile, Wisconsin has looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-6 record overall and their 0-5 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the Big Ten. They are off a 21-7 loss to Oregon in their last one and their defense looked better in that loss, but that hasn't been a common theme for them this year. They have been giving up a ton of points on defense this year and their offense hasn't even been competitive in a lot of their games lately. They have been shut out in 2 of their last 3 games and have only put up 7 points across all 3 of those. Washington has a really good offense when they haven't had to play against some of the better defenses in the Big Ten so they are going to put up points here and Wisconsin will have no answer with that terrible offense. The best way to place a bet here is on Washington to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“That’s who he is. I think he’s one of the best receivers in the country. And we’ve continued to find ways to get him the ball, and we’ll always continue to do that.” - Jedd Fisch after his team’s win against Illinois in their last game.
“Everything matters. That's what I say to the guys in there, everything matters. The last two plays of the game, they matter. Scoring points, it matters. You're not going to win football games if you score seven points, probably, but you've got to score seven before you can score 10 and you've got to score 10 before you can score 14. And at some point in time we've got to figure out how to string these things together and get better.” - Luke Fickell after his team’s loss against Oregon in their last game.
