Wisconsin started the season strong but has since been on a 4-game losing streak, and most likely a 5th loss after going through the Buckeyes. The last time the Badgers beat the Buckeyes was in 2010 with a 31-8 scoreline.

The top ranked team in the nation aim to continue their perfect record when they visit Wisconsin. They are coming off a relatively tough battle versus Illinois but still managed to beat them. The Buckeyes are top ranked in points allowed at 6.8 and hardly turn the ball over.
Ohio State's top players to watch are QB Julian Sayin with 15 TDs and 3 INTs. Wide Receiver Jeremiah Smith with 7 TDs and the other WR Carnell Tate with 4 TDs so far. Their ground game is also dangerous through CJ Donaldson with 6TDs and 237 total rushing yards.
Wisconsin started the season on the right foot; however, it seems they have tripped over to a 2-4 record. They have also had some embarrassing beatings this season, for example their last outing versus Iowa. In order to stop this downward spiral, they'll need a big push from their home crowd, at least to avoid an embarrassing loss.
Their QB Danny O'Neil needs to step it up and bring consistency to his next game. He has currently only thrown 5 TDs but has also given away 5 INTs. His star WR Vinny Anthony also relies on O'Neil to get the job done, so let's see how they do against the Buckeyes.
Dont get startled by the big spread line, but the Buckeyes are currently -25.5. The over/under is 41.5 which is low in comparison to other games. The Moneyline for Ohio State is -4000 for Ohio State and +1525 for Wisconsin.
For this game, we have no doubt the Buckeyes are going to win against Wisconsin, but we actually recommend the over 41.5 line. We consider there will be enough points scored in the game to cover, especially if Wisconsin breaks down defensively and lets the Buckeyes stomp all over them.
