Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Predictions
Wisconsin has dealt with injuries lately, which is one reason the Badgers have lost six of their last seven games. However, things look better on the injury front for this game at Ohio State, so Wisconsin will look to bounce back after a pair of double-digit losses against Maryland and Illinois last week.
Ohio State has had a difficult time in conference play as well, dropping seven of its last eight games. That includes losses to the bottom teams in the Big Ten (Nebraska and Minnesota) as well as a 16-point defeat at Indiana on Saturday.
For this game, we are looking under the total of 132.5 points. The last five Wisconsin games have fallen short of that mark, and that includes outings against some solid offenses. The Badgers rank 128th in offensive efficiency while playing at one of the slowest paces in the nation. Ohio State also plays relatively slow while ranking 213th in tempo. Expect a low-scoring affair in this Big Ten contest.
