The Badger D gives me no confidence that they will be able to stop the Gopher run game. Just look at what Iowa and Nebraska did to them. Yes, it could be a close game, and I think the Badgers will be motivated to a) keep the 22-year bowl streak intact and b) keep the Axe. This would be the first time in a long time that the trophy case is empty.

Its at Wisconsin
I would lay money on the Badgers if i gambled.  they need 1 game to be bowl eligible and have more to play for.  bounces will go Wisc way -this will end up being a close game probably a final possession type game
Plus Minn is coming off an emotional 1-pt loss to PSU and is traveling on a short week for an 11:30 start.   I expect Minn to run out of gas in 2H.

Wisconsin is coming off of an emotional beatdown at the hands of a team they hadn't lost to since the 2012 regular season.

the Gophers have plenty of gas

This sounds more like a "coming out flat from the start" situation.

All that training should keep the moobs at bay. Maybe not some of the linemen.

I doubt that the Gophers are going to come out flat. PJ already has two wins at Camp Randall (and arguably should have 3), and did so with strong starts in all of those.

Yeah, I have very little confidence in this Badger team. I think Minnesota is a typically solid middle-of-the-old-Big-Ten-pack team. The Badgers do not appear to be. As has been pointed out elsewhere, they seem very Jeckyl and Hyde, given their convincing wins and their gross losses. I guess they played Penn State and Oregon pretty strong at home, notwithstanding the losses, so there is some reason to think they will look better at Camp Randall than they did in Lincoln. But Minnesota will grind away, and Wisconsin hasn't beaten a team that consistently does that.

I hope the Badgers suprise me, but my guess is that the bowl streak ends.

I’m at home and a friend with a tight schedule could do something around the start of the Axe game. I figured I’d catch the end, but after the Nebraska game, not the most mad to be somewhat out of pocket for the bulk of it.
