This is a very tough spot for Wisconsin, coming off a Big 10 opening victory over Penn State and having Ohio State on tap next week. Illinois is coming off a hard fought 8 point loss against Purdue in which they scored 30 points. Wisconsin is last in the Big 10 in scoring in the first 4 games. Anthony Davis has been cleared to play, but rust could be a factor. Wisconsin coaches are not at all happy with the performance of QB John Stocco. Overall, Illinois' offense is in much greater synch right now than Wisconsin. I'm going to go out on a limb and call for an outright Illinois win here.

Good luck,
JAG

hey man. I do like the pick. The badgers are now 2-15 as DD favs over the last 17 with one of the wins coming against Central florida this year.

I could see a tight game but I could also see Anthony davis getting loose for about 200+. But if ILL stacks the line and makes stacco go through the air....it could be an easy cover.

hope the ML doesn't come through.

Thanks for the input! Wisconsin has a history over the last several years of blowing one or two games they should win. With the statistics you cite, the fact that this is a difficult scheduling spot, and the fact UW has not lost in spite of deficiency at QB, makes me think this may be the spot. At 7-1, I believe there is value in the money line.

Good luck!
