The Badgers So Far in 2018
Disappointing as they already have one loss this season but more telling is their 0-3 record Against The Spread. The Badgers tumbled out of the Top 10 following a 24-21 loss to BYU last week, which ended their non-conference home winning streak at 41 games.
The Badgers 2018-2019 Odds
They still have relatively short odds of winning the College Football Championship game at 25-1 but we here at Gambling911.com don't see the value.
The Badgers vs. Hawkeyes Trends and Predictions
The Badgers are 11-1 Against The Spread in their last 12 road games while the Hawkeyes are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.
Iowa has won five of its last six Big Ten openers.
The Wisconsin road record has to account for something, right?
Maybe not.
AthlonSports is giving this one to Iowa.
This was always going to be one of the tough hurdles for Wisconsin to clear this season if the Badgers were going to make a playoff push. After losing last week, Wisconsin cannot afford to lose again now that conference play is opening, but winning on the road in Kinnick Stadium is not easy for anybody. Iowa has the tools in place to go head to head with Wisconsin but will need quarterback Nate Stanley to shrug off a disaster of a game against Wisconsin last season. Odds are, Stanley is not going to complete just 8-of-24 pass attempts for 41 yards this time around. He doesn’t have to throw five touchdowns as he did against Ohio State last year, but Stanley should be able to lead enough effective drives at home to give Iowa a chance to jump on top of the Big Ten West standings and secure a win against Wisconsin. Prediction: Iowa 26, Wisconsin 23
