Slow on the trigger in this game as well. Would have loved to get it at 20.5, but I don't think much under 27 or so will matter. In the Badger's four Big 10 wins against Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Purdue they won by 35, 32, 36, and 21. Illinois has losses at Rutgers by 33, a loss at home to Syracuse by 10, lost by 17 at home to Iowa, lost at home on home coming to Indiana by 2 (wisky beat them by 35), and even lost to Ohio by 3. The SBR lines have Wisconsin as a 36 point favorite. Wisconsin is 6-0 ATS this season. In home games the last 3 years Wisconsin is 12-2 ATS. This should be another game that is over before halftime. My one concern, and this is a very weak concern is that it is Halloween weekend in Madison. What that means is that the crowd may not be as lively as it normally is at 11am do to extreme hangovers, but that wouldn't be anything new. My only hope is the players aren't looking towards the parties later on Saturday night and are instead focusing on Illinois. Brett Bielema though has stated he wants to avoid a late season swoon which has been a Wisconsin specialty the last few seasons. Final Score 44-6 Wisconsin. Weather update for Wisconsin game. Expected kickoff temperature at is suppose to be around 42 degrees with a 20 mph wind from the West Northwest. Thus the wind will be predominantly blowing from the upperclass student section (Section P) on Wisconsin's sideline towards Illinois bench (Crosswind from sideline to sideline). In the five years I had season tickets at Wisconsin I don't recall wind every being a problem on the field or in the stands. With the field entirely closed in in a bowl shape, and skyboxes surrounding the field above that, I don't think the wind will haev a lot of effect on the game. |
