Minnesota at Wisconsin

The winner receives Paul Bunyan’s Ax, perhaps the coolest of all the Big Ten rivalry game trophies.

Wisconsin leads the series 60-59-8, but it has been lopsided lately as the Badgers have won the last 14 games.

The Golden Gophers have a bowl season riding on this game, but I don’t think it will matter.  They have been terrible on the road.

I don’t see them slowing down Jonathan Taylor who needs 131 yards to eclipse 2000 yards on the season.

Wisconsin in a blowout, 34-13.
