Can the Badgers become bowl-eligible in a rivalry game on Saturday?
Fresh off a close 19-16 loss to the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, the Wisconsin Badgers are heading on the road for a matchup with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m.
It has been an up-and-down year for the Badgers, who recently battled the Ducks to the brim, but were unable to come away with a victory in that one.
That led to the firing of offensive coordinator Phil Longo one day later, with the Badgers moving to a more collaborative effort for their final two games of the season.
Now, standing at 5-5, Wisconsin has a big opportunity to become bowl-eligible, as they face the Cornhuskers on Saturday in a big game. Wisconsin has won this rivalry game in each of the last 10 years, but that could be in jeopardy this weekend, as the Huskers are 1.5-point favorites at home.
Both teams are dealing with some adversity, as Wisconsin has lost three straight, while Nebraska has lost four straight after some strong starts on both sides. Who will snap their losing streak on Saturday and become bowl-eligible in a big way?
Here are the odds and information for tonight’s game.
Spread: Nebraska -1.5
Over/Under: 41.5 points
Tip: 2:30 p.m.
