🔮 Wisconsin vs. Minnesota — Prediction
- This is always a great rivalry in college sports.
- The Badgers haven’t been a great team this season until last weekend when they upset number 1 (kenpom) Michigan in a shoot out in Ann Arbor.
- There is no way that I can bet on the Badgers after a performance like that as they are in let down City.
- The Gophers may licking their chops in looking for an upset, but it’s not like they have been that great coming off of a rough home loss to USC in overtime.
- One thing that I can count on is the gophers to slow down the pace. This team ranks 358th on Kenpom in average possession length.
- I expect the Badgers to be a bit cold coming off of the big win against Michigan. I am gonna look toward the under in this game as there are many ways that it could hit.
Under 146.5 – 2 stars
