Vegas Big Ten Predictions
Western Illinois at No. 18 Wisconsin
After a heartbreaking opening loss to LSU, the Badgers need a morale boost. And they need a quarterback who is at least 10 percent competent. Tanner McEvoy may have been the worst starter in a big game at quarterback seen in recent memory, and his receivers were equally as pathetic. Luckily this team has Melvin Gordon. But as the Leathernecks roll into town this weekend, the Badgers have to spend time finding a passing game.
Western Illinois isn’t a team to tune up against after it went 4-8 last year in FCS play, but its defense isn’t terrible after winning last week 45-6.
Prediction
Wisconsin will blow Western Illinois out of the water but not as much as fans would like to see because the coaches will spend time experimenting and trying to find some sort of passing game. Hopefully that happens.
Wisconsin: 41 Western Illinois: 7
