The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the No. 6 Oregon Ducks this weekend on the road, as they face their second top-10 opponent in a row after playing the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes this past weekend.
It was not a pretty game against the Buckeyes, who shut out the Badgers 34-0 at Camp Randall Stadium in a game where Wisconsin was completely ineffective offensively.

That marked the second straight game that Wisconsin was shut out for the first time this century, and lowered their points per game to 133rd of 136 in the country.
Well, the oddsmakers aren’t thinking highly of the Badgers this weekend, as Wisconsin opened as a 34.5-point underdog against the Ducks, with the over/under at 44.5 points. Additionally, Wisconsin’s point total on FanDuel currently stands at 5.5 points.
This comes after the Badgers were 26.5-point underdogs against Ohio State a weekend ago at home, where teams usually get a three-point advantage from the oddsmakers. So, Wisconsin is now projected to lose by even more to Oregon, which blew out Rutgers 56-10 a week ago.
Oregon has a top-10 scoring offense and defense, scoring 59, 69, 34, 41, 30, 20, and 56 points in its seven games. This one could get rough on Saturday.
