What you need to know about Wisconsin
Wisconsin has struggled against the spread this season with a 2-4 ATS mark. The Badgers beat Army last week, but failed to cover as 14-point favorites. They've only covered once in their last four games.
But the Badgers still have a rugged defense that makes life tough on opponents, giving up just 19.3 points per game. Quarterback Graham Mertz has struggled with his accuracy (55.6 percent) and has thrown seven interceptions this season. Because of that, Wisconsin has leaned on the ground game, and Chez Mellusi is leading the way on the ground with a 112-543-3 rushing line.
