Our Iowa Hawkeyes vs Wisconsin Badgers Prediction

Iowa is the small favorite in this game; however, Wisconsin looks to be the best betting option. The Badgers' dominant win against USC last week has put them in contention for the Big 12 title game. Further, Iowa’s lack of offense in their loss to Minnesota is concerning, especially against a Badgers defense that has been improving since the start of Big Ten conference play.

Note that the under is 4-3 for Iowa and 5-2 for Wisconsin this season. Having said that, this game looks likely to be another close game. For that reason, our Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Wisconsin Badgers prediction is: Wisconsin Badgers +3.5.

Prediction:

 

Wisconsin Badgers +3.5
