Big 10 Game of the Year

Northwestern has not been impressive at all beating some patsies en route to a 4-0 straight up start. Sure winning at Cali was pretty good, but that was one of our first Wise Guys of the year as they caught a rebuilt team with a new QB and new coach in game 1. Now they are off a humbling loss to Ohio State. A trip to Wisconsin is a tough back to back.

Yes Wisconsin is also off a loss to The Ohio State University but had a week to adjust. Their two losses were to two quality teams on the road including a controversial setback at ASU.

Northwestern has done well in the turnover department but that is often a sign of good fortune, especially considering they have done it against an okay schedule with just one road game so far.

One of the Badgers calling cards is the ability to push around opponents with a front five averaging about 320 pounds across.

Now they are well rested against a DL that is not. Wisconsin is as healthy as they have been all year with several key players returning after the bye week after missing time.
