Big Ten Championship Betting Prediction

The Ohio State Buckeyes are still looking for their first Big Ten Championship Game victory as they face the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Buckeyes lost to the Michigan State Spartans 34-24 in last year's Big Ten title game as 5.5-point favorites while the Badgers won the previous two by a combined score of 112-70.

Big Ten East champion Ohio State lost starting quarterback J.T. Barrett to a fractured ankle in last week's 42-28 home win over the Michigan Wolverines, and the team has failed to cover the spread in its past three games against Big Ten opponents. Big Ten West champion Wisconsin is riding a seven-game winning streak in conference play and has gone 4-3 against the spread during that stretch. However, the Badgers have dropped six of the previous seven meetings with the Buckeyes both straight-up and ATS.
