Western Michigan vs. Wisconsin Free Pick

The Broncos come into this game with a perfect 13-0 record and two of those wins came against Big Ten teams. The 22-21 win over a decent Northwestern team in their season opener was probably their best win. The Badgers list of wins is far more impressive beating Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota and playing Ohio State and Michigan tough. The lines maker has hung a 7.5 on this game hanging the hook to get some Western Michigan action. We’ll lay the points here and back the far superior team who will be looking for redemption after losing their season finale to Penn State.

Take Wisconsin -7.5
