Wisconsin vs Alabama Prediction
I considered grabbing the points with the Wisconsin Badgers because you rarely get this program as big underdogs. In fact, this will be just the fifth time since 2019 where Wisconsin is a double-digit favorite. With that said, Wisconsin has looked sluggish offensively through 2 games and just found itself in a dog fight against South Dakota. That game was a one possession game entering the fourth quarter.
Alabama is still talented, still great defensively, and has the sort of athletes Wisconsin doesn’t typically see in the Big Ten. This feels like a spot where the Crimson Tide can just wear down Wisconsin. I’ll lay the points with Alabama on the road.
