Washington at Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. (Interstat) — A surging Washington Huskies squad riding a potent offense visits the struggling Wisconsin Badgers in a nonconference clash Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
The Huskies (6-2) enter with momentum after a 42-25 victory over Illinois on Oct. 25. Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. was dynamic in the win, accounting for four touchdowns, while receiver Denzel Boston amassed over 150 receiving yards and scored twice.
Conversely, the Badgers (2-6) are mired in a four-game losing streak, most recently falling 21-7 at Oregon. Wisconsin’s offense has been stagnant, failing to score more than 14 points in any of its last four contests and being shut out twice.
Despite the stark contrast in records, Interstat’s game simulator projects a close 28-24 victory for Wisconsin. Oddsmakers have installed the Badgers as a 10.5-point favorite, with an over/under of 44.5 points.
The matchup pits Washington’s high-scoring attack against a Wisconsin defense that has been stout at times but often overworked. The Huskies will look to continue their winning ways before returning to conference play, while the Badgers desperately seek a turnaround to salvage their season.
