3:30 est fs1.ESPN's matchup predictor (not sure how it works) says 55.7% Wisconsin.
have seen one opener, -1 Iowa, and then a total of 44.5 that can't be.
With return to standard time (CST) sometime mid to late 3rd quarter, (5:48 p.m.) the sun will set on the Badgers.

What time is kick off? Kinnick at night much tougher than noon. Graham Mertz at night in that environment might throw picks in bunches and Iowa D feasts on mistakes.You have an obsession with this kid, clearly.
yep. we'll find out in just a couple more days if Maryland is for real or if Wisconsin has really turned it around.
You have an obsession with this kid, clearly.STOP THAT! Only Mdot can use stats to make a point - it's in the by laws,sheesh.He did make a good point about kinnick,but they can be beat
Since Paul Chryst was fired, Graham Mertz has thrown ONE pick. He's being put in a better position to succeed.
Completely different team.
a good pass rush will be rough on Iowa and Brianthat will be the entire key to the game for Wisconsin. Iowa simply cannot beat you unless you give them help.
I'm picking the Badgers, but they can't let Iowa's defense and special teams score
A lot of fans are still skeptical that Iowa's offense has turned the corner. This will be a good test to see how much has changed. My guess is the Iowa offense is going to struggleI think they both will.
Wisc 17, Iowa 13
13-10. First one to 3 wins.Iowa's defense scores a TD, Wisconsin's offense scores a TD

| Several times this year I'm commented that everything set up for Purdue and Minnesota, in a year where they drew easy crossovers, had experienced quarterbacks, Northwestern wasn't having a random Northwestern year, and MOSTLY, Wisconsin and Iowa weren't contenders, and yet couldn't take advantage. And yet, with 3 weeks left Wisconsin and Iowa find themselves tied, 1 game behind Illinois. Granted both have a head to head loss to the Illini, but if Purdue can win this weekend, that opens up all kinds of three way tie scenarios. I said last week that the Wisconsin-Maryland game would tell me what was real, (i) Maryland's season, or (ii) Wisconsin's resurgence. The Badgers dominated that game. The weather neutered what Maryland wanted to do, but that just made it uglier, instead of merely ugly. Neither team could pass the ball, and while Wisconsin didn't NEED to, it's a lot tougher to run when they know you have to, and Wisconsin still ran for 6.0 ypc. But Iowa is #3 in the Big Ten in run defense in both ypc and ypg. The only comparable run defense that Bucky has faced was Illinois, who held Wisconsin to 2 yards rushing. Not 2 ypc, which would be solid on its own. No, 2 rushing yards total, on 24 carries, which equates to 0.08 ypc. Their LONGEST run was 5 yards. If Wisconsin can run on this Iowa defense, that is proof that Wisconsin hasn't just righted the ship, but the ship is on the correct course. Speaking of righting the ship, lets talk Iowa offense. The Hawkeyes put up 33 on Northwestern, but Northwestern is awful. Except we then saw Northwestern hold Ohio State's offense in check. And Iowa followed that up with a 24-3 drubbing of Purdue. Kaleb Johnson ran for 200 yards on the day, the highest total for an Iowa back since Akrum Wadley ran for 204 on October 17, 2015 against Northwestern, and only the second 100+ yard performance of the season. This one feels like a total coinflip, so I'll take the home team. |

so, Mdot was correctMertz literally threw the game away.
Mertz is bad
so, Mdot was correctYup. He stinks.
Mertz is bad
O/U is 35 and I think that holds here.O/U 35, held.
so, Mdot was correctI told you that a year ago.
Mertz is bad
too bad they couldn't trade QBsToo bad because it would be such an even trade. It would be like walking in two feet of mud.
Man that sucked to watch.Even harder to listen to. That Greek dude has got to go. Horrible.
UW does not have a ST coach.Nebraska hired a special teams coach this season. There was a lot more to correct at Nebraska.
I think they need to clean up in that spot. Been too long since they were good.
Man that sucked to watch.Turns out the announcers were not even on site!! They broadcast the game from a California studio.
That's been going on now for a few years. Another broadcast last week had an awkward moment when the crew was called out by a coach for not having a clue what happened because they weren't even at the stadium.Never saw it until now. Explains a lot.
otherwise, Jim HArbaugh would never win a game ;)Well the other team is gagging on the ground when his finger's up his schnoze - that's when he runs plays.And people think he's stoopid!!!
just be happy "the game" is played in C-Bus this seasonWe don't have the home cooking like they do where Pawl has his nose
Turns out the announcers were not even on site!! They broadcast the game from a California studio.This is the 1930s all over again when Ronald Reagan broadcast Cub games from a studio in Des Moines relying on a wire service, and presumably someone blew into the microphone for crowd effects for WHO Radio in Des Moines.
Really Fox?
