MADISON, Wis. (Interstat) — The undefeated and third-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, riding a 5-0 record, travel to face a reeling Wisconsin Badgers team in a Big Ten Conference clash Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.

Despite Ohio State’s perfect start and Wisconsin’s 2-3 record, the Badgers have been installed as a 25.5-point favorite by oddsmakers. The over/under is set at 41.5 points, with a Interstat projection forecasting a 28-21 Ohio State victory.

The Buckeyes are coming off a 34-16 road win at Illinois where quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 166 yards and two touchdowns, while running backs Bo Jackson and CJ Donaldson combined for three rushing scores. Ohio State’s defense has been dominant, allowing an average of just 9.8 points per game.

Wisconsin is looking to rebound from a humbling 37-0 shutout loss at home to Iowa. The Badgers’ offense struggled mightily in that contest, with quarterback Hunter Simmons completing just 8 of 21 passes for 82 yards. The team has faced a difficult schedule, with its two wins coming against Miami (Ohio) and Middle Tennessee.

The matchup pits Ohio State’s stout defense against a Wisconsin offense searching for consistency. The Buckeyes will look to continue their national championship aspirations, while the Badgers aim to salvage their season with a statement win in front of their home crowd.
