Wisconsin football: A blowout and 4 other predictions against BYU

The Wisconsin Football team takes on BYU in their third game of the season. Don’t wait until after the game to find out what will happen, just read these five predictions.

The Wisconsin football team is hoping to build something special in the 2018 season. Just ahead of their first true road test at Iowa, the Badgers must first take on the Brigham Young Cougars (1-1). This will be the Badgers third straight home game to begin the season before they go on the road.

Wisconsin played their first two games against Western Kentucky and the University of New Mexico respectively. BYU won’t be as much of a cupcake as those two, but Wisconsin is still 22-point favorites heading into the game.

For much of Wisconsin’s existence, they’ve been highly criticized for compiling an easy non-conference schedule. Much is the same this year. However, when Wisconsin and BYU agreed to this series 20 billion years ago (2012), BYU was nationally ranked and a well-respected program. It’s hard to fault the Badgers’ athletic department this time around.

Regardless, BYU is only 1-1, having lost by three points at home to California. That loss hurts the Badgers as BYU is already coming off a very down season and looks to be average at best once again. Still, the beat must go on. Let’s take a look at five specific predictions for the Badgers-Cougars game. Or, as Paul Heyman says, these aren’t predictions, they’re spoilers.
