These defenses combined to hold their opponents to only an average of 26.4 points per game this year. Ohio State had 49 sacks this season and Wisconsin had 44 sacks of their own.


Wisky responded after losing in Columbus with four straight victories scoring 37 or more in three of those games. Ohio State has been a spread-covering machine all season long, but the Buckeyes are just 1-2 against the spread their last three games. Quarterback Justin Fields is not fully healthy limiting his running ability. Wisconsin will try to control the clock and game with its offensive line and RB Jonathan Taylor. Quarterback Jack Coan has had a very successful campaign as a first-year starter, throwing only four interceptions. The Badgers were getting 13.5 points at Ohio St and now get 16.5 on a neutral field. I'll back the underdog here with Wisconsin on Saturday night.
