Our Western Michigan vs. Wisconsin predictions fading the Badgers early on as we expect this experienced Broncos squad to keep things tight.
While Wisconsin has a massive talent advantage, it may be slow going early on against an experienced Western Michigan squad fetching a ton of points.Wisconsin is hoping for a big jump in head coach Luke Fickell’s second season after going 7-6 in year one. It all starts with Western Michigan on Friday night, who struggled to go 4-8 last year.
They're going to need that experience if they expect to have any chance of pulling an upset at Camp Randall. Thebrought in Tyler Van Dyke from Miami to take over an offense that's returning several starters. The offensive line should be a strength as well. Fickell had great success as head coach of Cincinnati with Desmond Ridder at quarterback, going 44-7 in his four years. Not saying Van Dyke should be compared to Ridder, but he certainly has the talent that has drawn the eyes of pro prospects for years. Unfortunately, his inconsistency over the last two years has drawn some concerns with his overall ability.
Running back Jalen Buckley scored a touchdown in all but three games last season and he's most likely to find the endzone for Western Michigan. For Wisconsin, I like wide receiver Will Pauling to find paydirt. He had six touchdowns last season and with Van Dyke at quarterback, I like his chances of adding to that number.Western Michigan vs Wisconsin spread and Over/Under analysisWestern Michigan has covered in three straight games as double-digit underdogs.
