No. 3 Ohio State will put its perfect record on the line when it travels to Wisconsin on Saturday night.

The Badgers are still in first place in the Big Ten West, while Ohio State and Michigan are both unbeaten atop the Big Ten East standings.

Why Wisconsin can cover

Wisconsin has only lost one home game this season, and it bounced back from that loss to Iowa with a road win at Illinois last week. The Badgers scored 18 fourth-quarter points to stun the Fighting Illini and erase a 14-point deficit, as Braedyn Locke threw a 3-yard touchdown pass with 27 seconds remaining. Locke completed 21 of 41 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns, starting in place of the injured Tanner Mordecai

Running back Braelon Allen, who leads the conference in rushing yards, had 145 yards in the win over Illinois. He had 165 rushing yards on 23 carries against Ohio State last season, including a 75-yard touchdown. Wisconsin has won four of its last five games, and it has won eight of its last 11 games in October. 

Why Ohio State can cover

Ohio State has dominated this series, winning nine straight games since the Badgers' last victory (2010). Allen had a big game for Wisconsin last year, but that did not stop the Buckeyes from rolling to a 52-21 win. They racked up 539 total yards of offense while holding Wisconsin to less than 300 yards in the blowout. 

The Buckeyes are coming off an outstanding defensive performance against Penn State, holding the Nittany Lions to two field goals until a touchdown in the final minute. Offensively, first-year starting quarterback Kyle McCord completed 22 of 35 passes for 286 yards and a touchdown, with star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. catching 11 passes for 162 yards and a score. Ohio State ranks fourth nationally in total defense and third in scoring defense, so this will be Wisconsin's toughest game this season. See which team to pick here.
