Western Kentucky is favored to win OVER 5 regular season games in 2018 and this is not likely to be one of those wins in Week 1. They are facing a Wisconsin Badgers team that is a -35.5 favorite at home.
From Athlon Sports:
The defense has been the star for the first three years of the Paul Chryst era, a stretch that includes 34 wins. Now, the Badgers might have to light up the scoreboard if they're going to make a run at the Big Ten title. A light non-conference schedule should give the defense a chance to grow, but that group needs to be ready for a Big Ten slate that includes road games against five bowl teams from a year ago.
Wisconsin has the fifth shortest odds of winning the 2019 College Football Championship at 15/1.
Hilltoppers are 3-10 Against The Spread in their last 13 games overall and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games.
