Northwestern vs. Wisconsin prediction: Picks and odds for college football Saturday

It has been an fascinating week at Wisconsin. The Badgers fired head coach Paul Chryst and promoted defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. No matter who's teaching, Wisconsin hasn’t earned the appropriate to be a ten.5-point street favourite.

The most important difficulty with the Badgers this season is their incapability to run the soccer. Wisconsin has been identified for its prolific speeding assaults for greater than 20 years. Final week towards Illinois, nevertheless, the Badgers managed simply two speeding yards.

Northwestern is permitting greater than 191 yards per sport on the bottom. Usually, the Badgers would run proper over Northwestern, however I don’t count on Leonhard to repair the entire Badgers’ offensive line points in just some days.

Northwestern has began a disappointing 1-4, however all of its video games have been determined by 10 factors or fewer. I see that development persevering with on Saturday.

Tennessee (-3) over LSU

It is a massive sport within the SEC, however we’re getting some worth with the a lot better workforce.

LSU beat Auburn final week regardless of simply 5 yards passing within the second half, forcing three fourth-quarter turnovers to win, 21-17. However they might want to play a lot better towards a Tennessee squad that many consider is the third finest workforce within the SEC.

LSU does have a powerful residence win over Mississippi State, however that sport was at night time. Tennessee catches a break with this sport being at midday ET, earlier than the LSU trustworthy get too raucous.

I make this line nearer to Tennessee -5. Lay the brief quantity on the street with the Vols.

NAVY (+5.5) over Tulsa

The Midshipmen have began to play a little bit higher over the past couple of video games, particularly defensively, beating East Carolina, 23-20, and dropping to Air Pressure, 13-10.

Tulsa is a bit overvalued within the betting market. The Golden Hurricane have been favorites of 6-or-more level twice this season and did not cowl each instances. They misplaced outright in an analogous spot earlier this yr towards Wyoming, as 6.5-point street favorites.

Betting on Faculty Soccer?

I’ll again an enhancing Navy workforce getting factors at residence.

Military (+16.5) over WAKE FOREST

Sticking with the service academies, Military is in a great place this week, getting 17 factors towards Wake Forest. These two groups performed a wild sport final yr and Military lined this quantity regardless of permitting 70 factors. You don’t see that fairly often.

In that assembly, Military rushed for 416 yards and gained 7.2 yards per play. The issue was, the Cadets gave up 12.3 yards per play.

If Military can eat up clock on the bottom and make the Deacons punt a few instances, I like its probabilities to cowl over two touchdowns.

Final week: 1-2. Alabama (W), Georgia (L), USC 1st half (L)
Season: 8-7-1.
