The Wisconsin Badgers are favored big against Rutgers this upcoming Saturday.

Circa Sports released their opening week ten college football lines Sunday, and the Badgers are at -11 against the Scarlet Knights on the road. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

I know Rutgers isn’t a great team, but the fact we’re double digit favorites on the road is a sign that oddsmakers are taking us seriously again.

Did Wisconsin have an atrocious start to the season? Yes. Are we rolling again after crushing Iowa this past Saturday?

Without a doubt. We’re now in complete control of the Big Ten West, and Rutgers is just going to be our next victim.

I love -11 and will almost certainly hammer it.

All things considered, it’s crazy how we started 1-3 and are still in complete control of our future. Imagine telling that to someone after we got blown out by Michigan.

I’m not sure anyone would have believed you.
