Thoughts: The Buckeyes are coming off a win over Penn State while the Badgers defeated Minnesota in their last outing. Both these teams need this game and want to avoid losing a three conference game. I like the Buckeyes to win at home here in what should be a hard fought game so I would take Wisconsin with the points.
