Big Ten Predictions - Week 8

Big Ten

Game of the Week

 

Badgers vs Spartans

Spartan Stadium – East Lansing – ABC 730PM

Last year these two teams tied for the Big Ten Title (7-1) with the Spartans being the lone defeat on the Badgers slate till the Rose Bowl.  And had Ohio State not “cheated” and tied these two with a 7-1 conference mark, it would have been the Spartans in Pasadena, and not Wisconsin.  This year seems to be a mirror of last year.  Wisconsin is rolling in all phases but some will say they haven’t played anyone.  Michigan State is coming off a BIG win over Michigan, the 4^th in a row over the Wolverines.  Michigan State has a D that can play with anyone and will need to slow down the best offense in the Big Ten.  I think they’ll hit Wisconsin in the face in the first half but eventually Wilson and Ball and that offensive line will get rolling and get revenge on the Spartans and take over in the second half.  BADGERS 43 – SPARTANS 20
