Wisconsin (-35) vs. Central Michigan

Are the Badgers that good or was South Florida that bad?

I am going to lean toward the middle, but no Big Ten team had a better opening game than Wisconsin throttling the Bulls 49-0.

As expected, it was the Jonathan Taylor show against South Florida and it will be again against the Chippewas.

He had 183 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns.  I think he’ll do more damage on the ground this week, closer to 200 yards.

My only concern is a backdoor cover.  I still ride the hot team until it burns me.

Wisconsin 51-10.
