  • The Wisconsin Badgers will be gunning for a sixth straight outright victory on Saturday when they close out their regular season schedule with a college football Week 12 matchup with the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Camp Randall Stadium.

    Shark Bites
    • The total has gone OVER in 14 of Minnesota's last 16 games against Wisconsin.
    • Wisconsin is 8-1 ATS in its last nine games against its conference.
    • Minnesota is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 games in November.

    The Badgers have played standout defense during their current five-game surge, holding opponents to just 11.2 points per game. Wisconsin has also held opponents to 17 or fewer points in five of six home dates this season, but has seen the point total finish OVER in each of its past two, ending a 6-1 run for the UNDER.

    The Golden Gophers improved to 5-1 straight up over the past six with last weekend's 29-12 win over Northwestern as 1-point home underdogs. However, Minnesota has enjoyed little success at the sportsbooks, covering in just four of 11 this season, and has failed to post consecutive victories against the spread in over a year.

    Wisconsin has dominated Minnesota in their century-old annual battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe, winning outright in 12 straight, including a 31-21 victory a year ago as 1-point road chalk. However, the Badgers have failed to cover in back-to-back meetings in 10 years, with the Golden Gophers going 6-3 ATS in nine meetings since.

    The Wisconsin Badgers were listed as -14-point favorites at sportsbooks such as Sportsbook on the college football lines menu.
