Last month the Wisconsin Badgers shocked the betting on College Football world by firing head coach Paul Chryst. He seemed as safe as a Supreme Court judge. But Chryst started losing too many games against ranked teams. Another concern was a dip in recruiting and poor player development. However, the biggest concern was that hotshot defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard would eventually leave his alma mater. Leonhard is considered one of the country’s brightest coaching prospects. Thus, Wisconsin decided to jumpstart its program. Many Iowa fans are fantasizing about new leadership for their team.

Badgers vs. Hawkeyes SBG Odds Overview
It is true that the Iowa Hawkeyes have been one of the most stable programs in America. And many sports betting fans are getting tired of it. Iowa was always boring but successful. This year it’s been a lot more boring with less success. Squares have become tired with Iowa. And Sharps don’t like the popgun offense. Wisconsin and Iowa could draw plenty of undertakers for the total.

Wisconsin has a record of 5-4 straight up, 5-4 against the spread, and 6-3 over/under the total. Wisconsin ranks 73rd for total offense, 102nd for passing, 43rd for rushing, and 53rd for scoring.

Wisconsin’s players are arguing strongly that interim head coach Jim Leonhard deserves to have the permanent title. Isaac Guerendo ran for an 89-yard touchdown. And he combined with Braelon Allen for 233 yards rushing as Wisconsin defeated Maryland on Saturday. As a result, Wisconsin improved to 3-1 under Leonhard,
Guerendo said the Badgers prepared all week for the likelihood of poor weather. Accordingly, Wisconsin outrushed Maryland 278-112. Wisconsin’s defense capitalized on the elements to bother Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa all day.

Last game, the Iowa Hawkeyes won 24-3 against the Purdue Boilermakers as 3.5-point road dogs. The game went under the total of 40.

Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell struggled to find his rhythm on a windy day. In sum, he completed just 20 of 43 passes for 168 yards and two interceptions.
