How do I feel about the spread being -7.5 for Wisconsin? It’s a bit of an interesting question. Historically speaking, Evanston has been a tough place for the Badgers to play.
I honestly have no idea why. On paper, you wouldn’t think we’d really struggle to play against the Wildcats, but they’re always a gigantic thorn in our side.

There’s no doubt at all that Pat Fitzgerald is one of the best coaches in America, and he’s found his quarterback in Peyton Ramsey.
Northwestern is sitting at 4-0, is ranked 19th and they’re a legit squad. So, that gives me a bit of hesitation.
