Wisconsin vs Indiana Prediction
The current betting odds have Indiana listed as a 30.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Indiana has looked great in their games this season with their 10-0 record overall and their 7-0 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big Ten. They have looked great on their home field with their 6-0 home record and they are currently ranked inside the top 3 teams in the nation. Meanwhile, Wisconsin has looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-6 record overall and their 1-5 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the Big Ten. They have been a disaster this season and have looked even worse in their road games with their 0-3 road record. They are off a big home win over Washington 13-10, beating a ranked opponent which was their first win in the conference all season, but this is a terrible situation for them now. They are going on the road off a big win where they have looked much worse this year and they are going to be getting a really angry Indiana team looking to blow off some steam. Indiana is off a 27-24 road win over Penn State and they struggled to win that game, needing a last minute drive with a game winning TD to close it out. That isn't a terrible loss since Penn State still has the remnants of a team that was ranked in the top 3 entering the season, but the way Indiana played that game feels like a loss so Cignetti is going to make sure his team brings their best effort here. Indiana has also been beating up on bad teams all season and this game will be no different. The best way to place a bet here is on Indiana to cover the spread in this game.

I can't say thank you enough to Chris for fighting the battle he's fighting, and for Chancellor (Jennifer) Mnookin to listen and believe.” - Luke Fickell after his team’s win against Washington in their last game.
