BadgersWire staff predictions for Wisconsin vs. Nebraska

Staff predictions for Wisconsin-Nebraska:

On Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall, Wisconsin will look for their seventh-straight win as the Badgers take on Nebraska.

Wisconsin has cruised to a majority of their wins during the streak, but at least according to Las Vegas this matchup is expected to be a little bit closer. While the Badgers likely won’t clinch the Big Ten West division title this afternoon, a win keeps them in firm control of their goal to play in Indianapolis for a conference championship.

Nebraska limps into this contest at 3-7, and that record comes as a result of a number of close losses. How will the Huskers fair against one of the top defenses in the nation?

Here is how our BadgersWire staff sees it going:

Wisconsin at Rutgers start time announced by the Big Ten

The Badgers face off with Rutgers on November 6

This afternoon, the Big Ten released another start time for Wisconsin football. After taking on Iowa this week, the Badgers travel to Rutgers for a November 6 Big Ten matchup in New Jersey.

Wisconsin and Rutgers is set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT. The Big Ten also announced that Illinois at Minnesota would begin at 11 a.m. CT, but have yet to announce start times for any other Big Ten contest on November 6.

Wisconsin and Rutgers is set to be televised on the Big Ten Network, and the Badgers will hope to be in the Big Ten West drivers seat come next Saturday. Start times for Wisconsin’s final three games have yet to be announced by the conference.

Games vs. The East: Michigan, Penn State, at Rutgers

Missed Teams From The East: Indiana, Maryland, Michigan State, Ohio State

Wisconsin Badgers Football Schedule Analysis: It’s not going to be a boring first half of the season.

On the negative side, the Badgers have to play Michigan and Penn State from the East. On the positive side, both games are at home. Those two along with the date with Notre Dame in Chicago come in the first games, and if that wasn’t annoying enough, playing Army in the middle of two road games stinks.

Iowa, Northwestern and Nebraska are all in Camp Randall in the second half of the year, but the regular season finale is at Minnesota.

Wisconsin Badgers Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: The Badgers take care of home. They beat Penn State, Michigan, Iowa, Northwestern and Nebraska in Madison, and they hit the knuckleball against Army. Start there, throw in a great win over Notre Dame, and they can afford one off day against Minnesota or in one of those nasty home dates and still be in the College Football Playoff hunt.

Wisconsin Badgers Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: Realistically this won’t be a losing season, but there are enough gaffes early to finish with just six to seven wins.

The wheels come off right away. The Badgers lose to both Penn State and Michigan, and start 1-3 with a loss to the Irish. Things get even rougher after not handling the Army option running game one week, and the Purdue passing attack the following week.
