The Badgers are a really good team despite the two losses they have and this game is an interesting one in terms contrast of styles.
Indiana seems to have forgotten what defense is all about while Wisconsin plays old school football running the ball, and like always, while playing good defense.

Whichever team can dictate pace and style will win. Odds are its the Badgers.
Indiana
The Hoosiers may not be winning all that much but you have to given them credit for carving out an identity for themselves iin the B10. Their commitment to offense has yielded results in the form of more than 500 yards per game of offense – mostly through the air – and they are 8th in the nation in scoring – 43ppg.
However, they have not had much success against Wisconsin lately, not scoring more than 20 points in any of the last three contests, losing each one by a wide margin.

It is a bit interesting because you don’t see a ton of the spread offense in the B10 but Wisconsin seems to always have the answer…and then some.
Indiana is 8-1 to the over and the 70 points on this total might be the bets play out there on this one.
Wisconsin
A few years back the Badgers scored 83 points against Indiana. They have followed that up with performance of 59 and 62 so clearly they are not all that concerned about the Hoosiers offensive prowess – they can outscore them if need be.
Not much should change this year either, even though they have a new head man at the controls, it seems like the same style of attack.
They have the one of the nation’s best tandems in the bacfield with Melvin Gordon and James White.
Running has to be their bread and butter because their QB, Joel Stave, has been prone to making mistakes.
Statistically they have one of the best defenses in the country.
If that proves to be true the Badgers will treat their fans to another rout. I wouldn’t expect another 83 points but they can certainly cover this big number.
Spread Pick: Wisconsin -21.5
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: Wisconsin 59 – Indiana 21
