Advice and prediction

On paper, Wisconsin isn’t a terrible matchup for the banged up Spartans. The Badgers don’t have the same kind explosive passing attack as any of the four teams they’ve played during this losing streak but the Spartans’ inability to slow down the run is what scares me here. Combine that with lackluster offensive play in recent weeks and it’s hard to pick a Michigan State victory. I don’t have this as a lock pick, but I’m leaning Wisconsin in this game.

Prediction: Michigan State – 17, Wisconsin – 24
