Wisconsin -7 2.2% play
Grabbing this number now. There is a shot this game means nothing to Minnesota if Iowa beats Nebraska. Either way this game means something for Wisconsin and the only way it means something for Minnesota is if Iowa loses, and Purdue wins all possibilities that could not come true, and then we would likely see this number move to 8.5 or higher. Both teams play similar style football, and Minnesota typically relies on their size up front to run the ball, but that’s not really going to help them going up against Wisconsin who has the size, and ranks #1 in ypc defense, #2 in epa run defense. The emergence of Wisconsin RB Braelon Allen is the difference maker here. Graham Mertz is starting to put it together. Wisconsin +6 TO Margin in their last 3 games. Wisconsin defense has dominated Minnesota in this match up in the past, and I think they will do it again here.
